The Venice Film Festival or Venice International Film Festival is the world’s oldest surviving film festival and features around 11 days of red carpets, parties and premiers. Its definitely among the most prestigious international film festivals in the world. In case you’re in the beautiful city of Venice, and love watching films from across the world, do head to the Venice International Film Festival.

Compared to the other International Film Festival’s (such as the one in Toronto which stars around the same time), the one in Venice feature very limited selection of films.

The screenings usually take place in the historic Palazzo del Cinema on the Lungomare Marconi and in other venues nearby.

Pyaasa, directed by Guru Dutt, and starring Guru Dutt, Mala Sinha & Waheeda Rehman is considerd to be an Indian classic film. And the fully restored classic is all set to feature at Venice and will compete with other films for the best restored film. The movie will be screened on September 11 and 12 in the Sala Volpi auditorium.

After Venice, the movie is likely to be screened at other international film festivals, after which it will be re-released worldwide in 2016.
