Organised by La Biennale di Venezia, the Venice International Film Festival is the oldest in the world. While South Korean director Bong Joon-ho was the jury president of this section at the 78th Venice International Film Festival in 2021, American actor Julianne Moore is this year’s jury president. A total of 23 films are in the running in this category for the top prize - the Golden Lion.

The Venezia 79 is the main competition section of the 2022 Venice International Film Festival. The 79th edition of the festival this year has five sections for films - Venezia 79, Out of Competition, Orizzonti, Biennale College – Cinema and Venice Classics. Like every year, some of the world’s biggest stars and directors graced the festival with their presence. The 2022 Venice International Film Festival witnessed the world premiere of several prominent movies from 31 August to 10 September 2022.
