English filmmaker Sam Mendes was the jury president of the main competition. [2] Italian actress Sonia Bergamasco hosted the opening and closing nights of the festival. The Golden Lion was awarded to The Woman Who Left by Lav Diaz. [3]

A new project named Venice Production Bridge was introduced in this edition of the festival. The new project was 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. [4]

The festival opened with La La Land by Damien Chazelle, and closed with The Magnificent Seven by Antoine Fuqua. [5]
