The 72nd annual Venice International Film Festival, was held from 2 to 12 September 2015, at Venice Lido in Italy.[1]
Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón was the jury president for the main competition.[2] French-Italian actress Elisa Sednaoui hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the festival.[3] The Golden Lion was awarded to From Afar by Lorenzo Vigas.[4]
The festival poster featured Nastassja Kinski in front as reminiscent of Wim Wenders's Faraway, So Close!,[5] while in the background it featured the character of Antoine Doinel portrayed by Jean-Pierre Léaud from François Truffaut's 1959 drama film The 400 Blows, which also appeared on the 71st Venice International Film Festival poster.[6]
The festival opened with Everest by Baltasar Kormákur,[7] and closed with Mr. Six by Guan Hu.[8]
