Described as “the definitive test” for any director, the Venice Film Festival, known as La Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica, has consecrated cinema as a true art form, etching important chapters in its history and expanding recognition around the world. The Venice Film Festival remains a point of reference for all other international film festivals, discovering and launching hundreds of directors, industry trends, foreign film projects, and careers of celebrated “divas” and “maestros” in cinematographic culture. La Biennale di Venezia is the internationally recognised cultural foundation responsible for the creation, production and promotion of the festival, as well as many other internationally important cultural events during the year. The Venice Film Festival now includes over 2,700 press attendees from the most influential and respected global publications.
