– Film Festival 2016 – Red Carpet - Opening Ceremony. The 73rd Venice International Film Festival, organized
by La Biennale di Venezia, is on at the Lido until September 10th

French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo and Polish
director Jerzy Skolimowski are the recipients of the Golden Lions for Lifetime
Achievement of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival.
“Jerzy Skolimowski - says Festival Director
Alberto Barbera - is one of the most representative exponents of the modern
cinema born during the nouvelles vagues of the 1960s. He and Roman Polanski are
the two filmmakers who contributed most to the renewal of Polish cinema during
that same period.” Polanski himself (who called him in to write the screenplay
of his debut movie, Knife in the Water) predicted: “Skolimowski will stand head
and shoulders above his generation.”
