It is known as the "father of international film festivals" and is one of the three major international film festivals in the world, along with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival.

The Venice International Film Festival is divided into units such as "Main Competition", "Horizon", "Future Lion", "VR Competition", "Non competition Exhibition", "International Film Critics Week", "Venice Day", and so on. In the golden age of cinema (1930s 1960s), the Venice International Film Festival was the cradle of many world film masters.
