In the official competition, 20 feature films will compete to win the famous Golden Lion. As always, these films will be world premieres. As well, there will be 18 “out of competition” films by established directors.

The aim of the festival is to raise awareness and promote all the various aspects of international cinema in all its forms: as art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and tolerance.

The festival includes retrospectives and homage to major figures as a contribution towards raising awareness of the history of cinema.

The Venice Film Festival or Venice International Film Festival founded in 1932, is the oldest film festival in the world and one of the "Big Three" film festivals alongside the Cannes Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival./.
