Founded by Count Giuseppe Volpi in 1932 as the Esposizione Internazionale d Arte Cinematografica , the festival has since taken place every year in late August or early September on the island of the Lido, Venice, Italy. It is one of the world s most prestigious film festivals and is part of the Venice Biennale, a major biennial exhibition and festival for contemporary art. The festival s principal awards are the Leone d Oro (Golden Lion), which is awarded to the best film screened at the festival, and the Coppa Volpi (Volpi Cup), which is awarded to the best actor and actress.

In addition, other Silver Lions are sometimes awarded for debut films, short films and direction. A Special Jury Prize is awarded to one or two films in most years. The Volpi Cups are awarded to actors. Awards for best actor and best actress have been given since 1935.
