Biennale Cinema 2019

The selection has been made of the 3 projects that will move on to the production phase of the 7th edition (2018 - 2019) of the Biennale College – Cinema. The 3 feature films will screen as world premieres at the 76th Venice Film Festival.

The next workshop will take place in Venice from 5 to 8 March 2019 with three selected VR projects, each of which will receive a contribution towards production up to a maximum of € 60,000.

The Director of the Festival will make a recommendation to the President and the Board to award a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement to a director (or a leading professional figure) for the contribution made through his body of work to the advancement of the art of cinema.

The second Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to an actor or actress, who have best interpreted the requirements of the directors for whom they have worked, while bringing their own personal aesthetic, symbolic and authorial contribution.
