The Fifth Venice International Film Festival was held in August 1937. This year's film festival is mainly held at the newly built Film Palace. The New Cinema Palace was designed by architect Luigi Quagliata and embodies the modernist currents of the time. Except from 1940 to 1948, the New Cinema Palace has been the main venue for the organizing committee to hold film festivals.
Another change in this year's film festival is that the scale of the film festival has been significantly expanded, and the number of films accepted by the participating countries and the organizing committee has increased compared with the past.
The following is the list of winners of this year's film festival:
Mussolini Cup Best International Film: The Roster of the Ball (Ball Invitation). Un carnet de bal. Julien Duvier (France) directed by 1937
Best International Film: Roster for the Prom
Mussolini Cup Best Italian Film: Woman and sea. Scipione l'africano Carmine Gallone director.1937.Italy.War.117 minutes
Best Italian Film: Woman and the Sea
Best Director: There are doubts about the selection and awarding of this year's Best Director Awards. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, this award is divided into the best Italian director [Mr. Max. Il signor Max (Mister Max). Mario Camerini Director.1937.Italy.Romantic Comedy.86 min.] and Best Foreign Director Elephant Boy. Robert Flahadi / Zoltán Koda co-directed .1937.UK Adventure.80 minutes] was awarded, however, the source of this information is unknown, and we can not find third-party sources to corroborate it, Douban Film did not show the award, and the Venice Film Festival official website did not publish it. What we know is that the disclosure and disclosure of the historical award-winning films on the official website of the Venice International Film Festival is very bad, it only discloses the awards of some of the main awards, and the other minor awards are not disclosed, in this case we do not know whether other minor awards have been selected, and if so, what is it... And so on these are all problems. In this case, although the data on Baidu is often unreliable, we still cannot simply assume that the data on Baidu is empty and deny it. So the best thing to do now is to hang this problem.
Best Screenplay: This award is also yet to be confirmed. Baidu Encyclopedia data shows the winner of the Best Foreign Screenplay: The Pearls of the Crown.Sacha Guitry (born in Russia, French) wrote and directed.1937.France.Historical comedy.118 minutes. This information can also not be corroborated with Douban and the official website.
