"The 81st Venice Film Festival kicked off on Wednesday, showcasing 21 films competing for the prestigious Golden Lion award. This year's event runs from Aug. 28 until Sept. 7 on Venice's Lido (Island), opening with the American director's new film 'Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.'"
The festival opened with the premiere of "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice," the latest film by Tim Burton, with the opening ceremony hosted by Italian actress Sveva Alviti.
The international jury is led by French actress Isabelle Huppert, who is known for winning multiple Best Actress awards at Cannes and other prestigious film awards. Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi is also one of the jury members this year.
In addition to the main competition, the festival includes other segments, which highlight films representing the latest aesthetic and expressive trends, debut films and virtual reality works.
First held in 1932, the Venice Film Festival is the oldest of its kind. Together with the Cannes Film Festival in France and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany, it is one of the three major film festivals in Europe.
