2013 Venice's Film Festival

The Venice Film Festival reaches this year its 70th Edition! The program is rich and varied and as always many Movie Stars are expected to come at the Lido di Venezia: George Clooney, James Franco, Matt Demon, Scarlett Johansson, Zac Efron.
 
The project this year is special because of the 70th Anniversary. The title is Venezia 70 - Future Reloaded: 70 Directors from all over the world have received the invitation to make a short film (lasting between 60 and 90 seconds) to celebrate the Anniversary of the Exhibition. All these 70 Directors attended at least once in the past editions of the Venice Film Festival.

The collection of all these short films (which all will be screened during the exhibition) is simultaneously a mooring collective world-renowned event and a reflection on the future of cinema in the eyes of each Director. The complete list (constantly updated) can be seen here . In the Biennale's official website you can also find extracts of previous editions.

Several titles are listed for the prestigious “Golden Lion”. The most important are "the zero Theorem" by Terry Gilliam, "philomena" by Stephen Frears, "La Jalousie" by Philippe Garrel, "The Unknown Known" by Errol Morris. There are also different registers called "surprise": James Franco, Kelly Reichardt and the Canadian Xavier Dolan.
 
Italy is also represented in the competition by as many as three films: "The intrepido" by Gianni Amelio, “via castellana bandiera" by Emma Dante and "sacro gral" by Gianfranco Rosi.
