82nd Venice International Film Festival
Updated: 12/11/2025, 1:47:05 PM Wikipedia source
The 82nd annual Venice International Film Festival was held from 27 August to 6 September 2025, at Venice Lido in Italy. American filmmaker Alexander Payne served as Jury President for the main competition, while Italian actress and comedian Emanuela Fanelli hosted the opening and closing ceremonies. The Golden Lion was awarded to Father Mother Sister Brother by Jim Jarmusch. German filmmaker Werner Herzog and American actress Kim Novak were awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement during the festival. Before and during the festival numerous Pro-Palestine demonstrations were held, supported by the festival organization or by stars attending, specially during the world premiere of Gaza-set docudrama The Voice of Hind Rajab, where further demonstrations took place demanding an end for the ongoing violence in Gaza during its 23-minutes long standing ovation. Artistic director Alberto Barbera endorsed any demonstrations, but stated that the protests should not disrupt the festival's schedule. The festival opened with La grazia by Paolo Sorrentino, and closed with Dog 51 by Cédric Jimenez.
