A special section dedicated to the Secret History of Italian Cinema will feature Spaghetti Western, and Quentin Tarantino is going to be the ‘godfather’ of the initiative. For the complete line-up of the Festival please, check this page.
Beside this schedule there are three more special events: Bernardo Bertolucci will receive the 75th anniversary Golden Lion and the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to Tim Burton. A Tim Burton day will be organized, which means that Burton’s movies will be screened for 24 hours non-stop. Last but not least, Blade Runner: The Final Cut will be presented as a world premiere on Saturday 1st September at midnight in the Sala Grande in the presence of the director Ridley Scott so as to celebrate the film’s 25th anniversary.
If you are interested in participating at the Festival you can find all the information you need on the official site, where you can find infos about tickets price, the venues and a lot more. For the history of the Biennale this is the right page.
Remember that Venice will be quite busy on those days, so if you want to spend a few nights there, we suggest you should book in advance: the prices for accommodations are much higher than usual.
