The Top Film Festivals in the World

Venice Film Festival
The Venice Film Festival, which was also founded in 1932, has the prestige of being the world’s oldest film festival, beating out Cannes for the title by a few months. The Venice Film Festival takes place on The Lido island, a stone’s throw away from the island of Venice proper.
The festival is a part of the Venice Biennale, a bi-yearly festival of art and culture that’s been a part of Venetian life since 1895. The President, who is appointed by the Italian Minister of Cultural Heritage, gives out the prizes every year, including the top honors – an award called the Golden Lion.
