Jury President of the 77th Venice Film festival, Australian-US actress Cate Blanchett arrives for the opening ceremony and the screening of the film "Lacci" on the opening day of the 77th Venice Film Festival.It is the first international film festival to take place amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The festival, rolling out on the glitzy beachfront Lido through 12 September, is the first major international festival to take place since Covid-19 shuttered theatres, halted production and drove millions of moviegoers around the world to their television sets. Italian actress Anna Foglietta, host of the ceremony, gave an impassioned tribute to the victims of coronavirus and the doctors, nurses and medical professionals who sought to save lives during the pandemic, which has killed over 35 000 people in Italy.The festival held annually on the swanky Lido - which over the decades has attracted celebrity heavyweights from Sophia Loren to George Clooney - will this year award its top prize, the Golden Lion, to one of 18 films in the main competition.
