Despite the epidemic, the Venice Film Festival will be held from September 2.

The management of the Venice Film Festival, the world's oldest film festival, however, made it clear in May this year that the festival would be held in September.

However, the administration has now released the date of the festival and the list of films to be screened at the festival.

According to the Associated Press (AP), the Venice Film Festival in Italy will start on September 2 and will continue until September 12.

The Venice Film Festival usually lasts for 2 weeks and is held in April or May at the beginning of summer each year.

However, this time due to the corona virus epidemic, the festival will be held in September instead of May, while the duration of the festival has also been shortened.

According to the administration, due to the Corona epidemic, the festival celebrations have been shortened or limited and the minimum number of people on the red carpet will be ensured.

Social distances will also be ensured during the Venice Film Festival, and this time films will be screened in more venues than in the past.

In all, more than 5 dozen films will be screened at the Venice Film Festival this year, and the management claims that this time more films by women filmmakers have been selected than in the past.

The 72nd Venice Film Festival this year will feature a competition between different films in a total of 9 categories and 18 films have been nominated for the most prominent category of the festival.

Half of the 18 films nominated for the highest award category are by female directors, while the other eight categories also feature half of the films by women.

In the past, the Venice Film Festival administration has been criticized for giving women filmmakers fewer opportunities.

This time during the Venice Film Festival, where films will be shown in more places than in the past, the number of people will also be kept to a minimum.

However, it is expected that a large number of dignitaries from around the world will attend this first major international film festival after Corona's fears were allayed.
