Introduction

The President

Roberto Cicutto

“The whole of La Biennale has always known how to live in history, without ever neglecting the most dramatic critical issues of the moment. It will do so again this year by putting on an event of international appeal, opening up its spaces to those who work for the cinema as well as to those who simply love it”.

The Director

Alberto Barbera

“The Venice International Film Festival is a reflection of this difficult moment, affected by all kinds of tension and subject to an ongoing transformation whose telluric dimensions we can sense but whose final outcome is not ours to see. Assuming one exists, in a world that is increasingly fluid”.
