The 62nd Venice International Film
Festival opened on August 31, 2005 with Tsui Hark's Seven Swords and
closed on September 10, 2005 with a screening of Peter Ho-sun Chan's
musical Perhaps
Love. The lineups were announced by the festival director
Marco Müller on July 28, 2005 in Rome. The digital films can
compete in all categories for the first time of the festival
history.
Asian filmmaking confirms its
vitality, and with this year's most important works demonstrates
that it has once again been capable of challenging the most
intelligent spectacular effects from Hollywood. This inaugural
event of the 62nd Festival will thus acquire the value of a special
tribute to filmmaking from the Far East, which has been cause for such
enthusiasm in Western film and culture.
Hayao
Miyazaki, Japanese animated filmmaker and Stefania
Sandrelli, Italian actress were awarded the Golden Lion for
Lifetime Achievement.
