Venice Film Festival chronology

English filmmaker Sam Mendes was the Jury President of the main competition.[2] The opening night film was Damien Chazelle's musical La La Land, and Antoine Fuqua's western The Magnificent Seven was the closing film.[3]

The Golden Lion was awarded to Lav Diaz's film The Woman Who Left.[4]

A new project named Venice Production Bridge was introduced in this edition of the festival. The new project is intended to attract industry professionals and focus on original projects for films, internet, series, virtual reality, and works in progress, in order to help their development and production. It is also meant to work in conjunction with the Venice Film Market which started in 2012. Such projects as Final Cut in Venice, meant to help finance original films from African countries, and the Venice Gap-Financing Market will come under its scope.[5]
