93 years ago today, on August 6, 1932 (July 5, 1932 in the lunar calendar), the earliest international film festival, Venice International Film Festival, was founded. On August 6, 1932, Venice International Film Festival, the earliest international film festival, was founded. It is the first international film festival in the world and is known as the "father of international film festivals". It was founded on August 6, 1932 in Venice, a famous city in Italy. The main purpose is to improve the level of film art. After the second session was held in 1934, it was held once a year from the end of August to the beginning of September for two weeks. From 1943 to 1945, it was temporarily suspended due to the Second World War. It was resumed in 1946 after the end of the Great War. From 1932 to 1942, the awards were divided into best feature film, documentary film, short film, Italian film, foreign film, and best director, screenwriter, actor and actress, photography, music and other awards. In addition, there are special awards, comprehensive awards, "Mussolini Cup", "Biennial Cup" and so on. From 1946 to 1948, the "Mussolini Cup" was abolished. In 1949, "St. Mark's Golden Lion Award", "St. Mark's Silver Lion Award" and "St. Mark's Bronze Lion Award" were added. The Venice Film Festival has gradually formed its own unique tradition: it focuses on film experimenters from all over the world, and encourages them to shoot films with novel forms and unique techniques. Even if there are some defects, as long as they are innovative, they can be accepted by the film festival. The tenet of the film festival is "film in the service of serious art". Every year, a different slogan is put forward, and the judging criterion is pure: artistry. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Venice Film Festival unearthed a large number of emerging European filmmakers. Although the film it chose may not be the best work of the director, it is always leading the development trend of European art films. Comments: Serious and tasteful arts festival.
