Venice film festival

The festival is held on Venice’s barrier island of Lido, providing ample opportunity for the chicest of photo calls: stars disembarking from a boat.

The Venice Biennale has for over a century been one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. Ever since its foundation in 1895, it has been in the avant-garde, promoting new artistic trends and organizing international events in the contemporary arts in accordance with a multi-disciplinary model which characterizes its unique nature.

As Venice Film Festival turns 75, The Hollywood Reporter critic David ?Rooney, a fest regular for more than two decades, reflects on how the once-struggling event has transformed itself into an essential appointment on the awards-season calendar.
