"When I arrived in Venice, I found that my dream had become my address."— — Memories of lost time
Venice, a pearl scattered in the Adriatic Gulf, is a grand event of film art every year in late summer and early autumn. The sunshine on Lido Island is as brilliant as it was 86 years ago. The history of the film festival originated from here, and many masters were born here, and many newcomers stepped out of the horizon from here.
Venice
As the first international film festival in the world, the Venice Film Festival, founded in 1932, is known as the "father of international film festivals". The location of the film festival in Venice, a resort, is obviously due to economic considerations. Later Cannes Film Festival (France), Locarno Film Festival (Switzerland) and Karlovy Farley Film Festival (Czech Republic) continued this principle until the establishment of the Berlin Film Festival in 1951. Because of its strong political purpose, it was located in the center of state power and became the first important film festival far from the resort in history.

Venice Film Festival, an old man in the film festival, has gone through a tortuous period of confrontation between politics and art. At the beginning of its birth, it was used as an ideological propaganda tool of Mussolini’s fascist government. At that time, the highest prize was not the Golden Lion, but the Mussolini Cup.

After World War II, Venice Film Festival bid farewell to ideological control, gradually revealed extraordinary artistic temperament, and established the purpose of "movies serve serious art". In 1949, it formally established the Golden Lion Award for the best film, which continues to this day.

In today’s international film festival blooming everywhere, the Venice Film Festival has been badly sung by many media. Under the attack of Cannes and Toronto, the selection range of the Venice Film Festival is limited. However, it is undeniable that in the eyes of film practitioners, it is still one of the three major international film festivals, and it is different from the political nature of Berlin and the commercial nature of Cannes. Venice, as always, adheres to the artistic criteria, and the weight of the Golden Lion cannot be underestimated.

Every year, the film festival will be held in Lido Island in Venice. Lido Island is located in the southeast of the main island of Venice. It is the largest outer island in Venice and the favorite resort of Venetians. It is called "Hawaii in Europe" ~
Nobel Prize in Literature winner thomas mann’s "Death of Venice" is based here. The melodious bells and the sea breeze on your face make you forget everything and enjoy the peace that this still smaller brings you — —
The film festival is held every year in the Del Film Palace in Lido Island. Because the film palace is not open to the outside world when the film festival is not held, it looks rather deserted — —
But when it comes to the film festival, the whole movie palace is gorgeous ~ all the stars and big coffee in the industry make this quiet island suddenly noisy — —
The golden lion, the mascot of the film festival, also began to line up and wait to be taken away — —
When film festivals are not held, Lido Island is a holiday resort, and even the buildings on the island have only three forms: hotels, villas and holiday apartments. Different styles of villas, there are retro old buildings, but also simple new ones after renovation. At the same time, Lido Island is also the only island in Venice where cars can be driven. Many parents who live on the island of Venice will come to this island if they want to bring their children to know about cars — —
If you think it’s too comfortable to watch the sunset blowing the sea breeze, you can also choose to gamble on Lido Island. Palazzo del Casino, a casino on Lido Island, is a public casino in Venice. Its luxurious interior is also a well-known casino. The only drawback is that it is only open in summer ~
You need to pay a ticket of 5 euros to enter and leave this casino, and there are certain requirements for clothing. You need to wear formal clothes to enter. If you don’t have formal clothes, it doesn’t matter. The casino itself will provide costume rental service ~
But Lido Island is most worth visiting because of its golden beach. Because of geographical reasons, the beach adjacent to the sea has a gentle slope, and even the youngest children can swim safely at the seaside ~
Many stars also like to relax on this beach in their spare time, such as Audrey Hepburn and Ms. Chanel, who are frequent visitors to Lido Island — —

Selected films of this Venice Film Festival
Everyone feels that the film list is too long to know which one to watch. Here are four films that are the most interesting in this Venice Film Festival.
— — Alexander payne’s ambition goes beyond the opening ceremony.
Director: alexander payne
Screenwriter: alexander payne/jim taylor

Alexander payne has always stressed that this film is just a simple comedy, and it seems that there is no ambition in this film festival, so as not to miss this film festival.
As we all know, alexander payne won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay twice for "A Life with a Glass of Wine", and even nominated the best director at the Oscars and Cannes.
The film "Shrinking" will not disappoint the audience in the script, and there should be infinite alexander payne-style irony and thinking behind the comedy. Hidden under the cloak of comedy is alexander payne’s longing for the Golden Lion Award.
Recommended reason: the world’s top screenwriter brings fables of the human micro-world.
— — Darren aronofsky lifts cult frenzy again.

Screenwriter: darren aronofsky
Starring: jennifer lawrence/javier bardem/ed harris/michelle pfeiffer/domhnall glesson
Type: Plot/Suspense/Thriller
Producer country/region: USA
Language: English
Almost all-star cast, together with darren aronofsky’s script, ignited the enthusiasm of darren aronofsky film believers all over the world before it was released.
Fans want to witness the classic reappearance again, but they are not interested in this film "Mother! I don’t expect a black swan, because fans expect this cult master to surpass myself again.
I predicted this "Mother! The sword refers to the major film festivals. If this film becomes a live broadcast, you will be blown up by such a barrage: "The script is invincible!" "The lens has never been seen before!" "People set me up!" . If it were me, I would say, "Everybody sit down and applaud. You don’t have to shout 666 for the basic operation."
Highlight: π darren aronofsky only needs one movie to capture you.
— — Abdel kechiche returned to the starting point and set off again.
Director: abdel kechiche
Screenwriter: Franç ois Begotto
Starring: salim kechiouche/hafsia herzi/Shain Boumedine/Ophé lie Baufle/Lou Luttiau/
Type: Plot/Love
Producer country/region: France/Italy
Language: French
In 2007, a film "Millet and Mullet" made abdel kechiche a famous water city. Make him a movie master in the world.
This year, the director came to Shuicheng again, because of the lack of funds in the later period, which made the director auction all the Palme d ‘Or trophy and his own oil paintings for the birth of this film. It is conceivable that the film must have some feelings and philosophical views that the director must express. All this has nothing to do with money, just for the film and only for art.
Life itself is as incredible as a movie. abdel kechiche has returned to the place where his dream began. He is already a master without being crowned.
Highlight: abdel kechiche’s obsession with movies is worth appreciating.
Guillermo del toro Gothic Fairy Tales Return Again
Director: guillermo del toro
Screenwriter: guillermo del toro/vanessa taylor
Starring: sally hawkins/octavia spencer/michael shannon/michael stuhlbarg
Type: Drama/Fantasy/Adventure
Producer country/region: USA
Language: English
The failure of "Hellboy 3" and the infinite extension prove that guillermo del toro will never become a commercial tycoon in the producer’s mind, but all commercial directors can’t become guillermo del toro.
Guillermo del toro’s trilogy of Gothic Fairy Tales has finally been completed. Without the commercial burden, Water Story will once again take the audience to enjoy the bizarre dark world.
There is a clear shadow of harmony in Water Story. Whether guillermo del toro can prove his uniqueness again is a must for the battle of Shuicheng.
Highlight: Only in the parallel world of guillermo del toro can you see the real side of the world.
Appreciating the master’s works at the film festival for the first time is definitely the highest viewing experience. It is precisely because of Venice’s uniqueness that it attracts so many movie master and uses the lens to re-portray its beauty. Lido Island makes us linger, but it is only the first stop for us to look for the "thrilling" thing that happened in Venice. With the story of light and shadow, we will experience the charm of this city together.
