[Edit]

The Venice Film Festival (1934-today) is the oldest Film Festival in the World (it began in 1932 as Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica) and takes place every year in late August/early September on the Lido di Venezia in the historic Palazzo del Cinema on the Lungomare Marconi, in Venice, Italy. Between 1946-1947 the festival was named "Manifestazione Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica".

Its main award is the "Leone d'Oro" (Golden Lion). Recently, a new award has been added, the San Marco Award for the best film in the "controcorrente" section.

The Venice Film Festival is part of the Venice Biennale, a major biennial exhibition and festival for contemporary art.

The festival in 2005 held from 31 August to 10 September was the 62nd. For the 2006 festival see the 63rd Venice International Film Festival.

The Venice Film Festival has been called one of the world's most prestigious film festivals.
