The International Venice Film Festival, founded in 1932, is the world's oldest film festival and one of the big European three, alongside Cannes and Berlin. The annual movie showcase attracts some of the biggest names in world cinema: A-list actors, actresses, and directors, as well as a wealth of celebrity artists, entertainers, and musicians.
