The Venice International Film Festival (Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia) is the oldest event of its kind in the world. Founded by Count Giuseppe Volpi in 1932, the festival takes place on the Lido in late August or early September every year with screenings in the historic Palazzo del Cinema on the Lungomare Marconi and in other venues nearby. It is one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals and part of the Venice Biennale. The Film Festival’s principal awards are the Golden Lion (Leone d’Oro), which is awarded to the best film screened in competition at the festival, the Silver Lion (Leone d’Argento) for the best director and the Volpi Cup (Coppa Volpi), awarded to the best actor and best actress.
