The 82nd Venice International Film Festival is organised by La Biennale di Venezia and directed by Alberto Barbera. It will run on the Lido di Venezia from 27 August to 6 September 2025. The Festival is officially recognised by the FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Association).

The aim of the Festival is to raise awareness and promote international cinema in all its forms as art, entertainment and as an industry, in a spirit of freedom and dialogue. One section is devoted to enhance the restoration works on classic films as a contribution towards a better understanding of the history of cinema.
