The 78th Venice International Film Festival is organised by La Biennale di Venezia and directed by Alberto Barbera. It took place at Venice Lido from 1 - 11 September 2021. The Festival is officially recognised by the FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Association).
The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote international cinema in all its forms as art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and dialogue. The Festival also organises retrospectives and tributes to major figures as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema.
