the 77-th Venice film festival still take place, and, in the time frame a year ago. It will be held from 2 to 12 September this year. This was reported by Luca ZAIA, Governor of Veneto, where Venice is located. About what will be this year’s oldest film festival, will finally become known in July when it announced his program. You can count on the most revolutionary solution because of the Biennale this year was headed by the ambitious Roberto Cicutto – last producer.
a Little earlier, while Italy struggled with the pandemic, the leadership of the Venice Biennale, part of which is the Venice film festival, has announced that its opening is transferred from the spring to the end of August, but four days ago it was decided to move it to 2021.
the head of the Veneto region Luca Cordero Jia explained the decision complexity of the construction of pavilions. As for the Venice film festival, then it is assumed that the number represented on it of films will be reduced compared to previous years.
Before you venture on the festival, its management turned to the largest representatives of the world film industry to test the waters, to understand whether the main players, including producers of Hollywood, to participate in the festival, will bring film crews to represent the picture. It is clear that without the participation of actors and Directors, full of the festival can not be. In a letter to festival Director Alberto Barbera was written: “it is Impossible to plan the event without knowing if you are ready to support the festival, to give a new start and a powerful incentive to preserve life in our times”. While waiting for the answer, considered the possibility of creating online platforms for watching films, holding press conferences with the stars. But the full transition to the Internet of the speech was not. This is a principled position. There were also words that probably virtual views will be targeted to those who for various reasons can not attend the festival personally. Negotiated and special security measures which were already adopted in Venice. Just before they were associated with the terrorist threat. And now will be focused on disinfection of rooms, mandatory use of medical masks and distancing. There are different halls – hangars and quite small. Now the question is which of them will be involved. Not the fact that small, because huge easier to seat the audience, taking into account the required distance.
the Fact that cate Blanchett will be the President of the jury of the main competition, was announced I January. While it is not denied, but not confirmed.

Many of our filmmakers are going to go to the festival, despite the call by Prime Minister mishustina Russians to refrain from trips abroad.
