Venice Film Festival 2020

The 77th edition of the festival is one of the first major cultural events to take place in Europe since the coronavirus pandemic took hold on the continent, with the Cannes Film Festival canceling its 2020 event in May.

Venice might be known as the City of Masks for its iconic Carnival, but the moniker rings true for attendees at the 77th Venice Film Festival. Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton are among the many stars currently attending the event, sporting protective face coverings with their designer gowns and show-stopping jewels.
