Venice Film Festival

Oscar-Qualifier:

Corto Cortissimo Silver Lion - Best Short Film

Venice Film Festival is the world’s first and most exclusive film festivals. Specializing in world premieres, the festival has been ruled under the tight regime of Marco Müller since 2004, a time in which the festival has witnessed one of its most turbulent times since its incepting years. With the setting up of the Rome Film Festival in 2006, the Venezia has undergone some change, halted its development of the new cinema, and responded to the funding cuts by selling premiere tickets to the ubber rich – which has resulted in a festival even more difficult to attend (as a professional) and, sadly, increasingly catering for the Nikki Beach members (across from the Palace on the Lido) than its core audiences.
