意大利威尼斯国际电影节，或称威尼斯电影节，是每年8月至9月间于意大利威尼斯利多岛所举办的国际电影节，最高奖项是金狮奖。威尼斯电影节创办于1932年，是世界上历史最悠久的电影节。威尼斯电影节与德国的柏林电影节、法国的戛纳电影节、加拿大的多伦多国际电影节以及捷克的卡罗维发利电影节是国际电影联合会认可的国际五大电影节，也是世界三大艺术电影节之一（德国柏林电影节、意大利威尼斯电影节、法国戛纳国际电影节）。
世界上第一个国际电影节。号称“国际电影节之父”。1932年8月6日在意大利的名城威尼斯创办。主要目的在于提高电影艺术水平。1934年举办第2届后每年8月底至9月初举行一次,为期两周。1943～1945年因第二次世界大战一度停办。大战结束后于1946年恢复举行。1932年至1942年，奖项分为最佳故事片、纪录片、短片、意大利影片、外国影片，以及最佳导演、编剧、男女演员、摄影、音乐等奖。此外，还有特别奖、综合奖、“墨索里尼杯”、“双年节杯”等。1946年至1948年，取消了“墨索里尼杯”。1949年增设“圣马克金狮奖”、“圣马克银狮奖”、“圣马克铜狮奖”等。
威尼斯电影节逐渐形成了自己独特的传统：它聚焦于各国的电影实验者，鼓励他们拍摄形式新颖、手法独特的影片，哪怕有一些缺陷，只要是有创新，就能够被电影节所接纳。该电影节的宗旨是“电影为严肃的艺术服务”，每年都提出不同的口号，而评判标准很纯粹：艺术性。在六七十年代，威尼斯电影节发掘了一大批新兴的欧洲电影人。尽管它所选择的电影未必是该导演最好的一部作品，但却时时刻刻地在引领欧洲艺术电影的发展潮流。
威尼斯电影节是威尼斯双年展的组成部分。
History of the Venice Biennale
The Venice Biennale has for over a century been one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. Established in 1895, the Biennale has an attendance today of over 370,000 visitors at the Art Exhibition.
The history of the Venice Biennale dates back from 1895, when the first International Art Exhibition was organized. In the 1930s new festivals were born: Music, Cinema, and Theatre (the Venice Film Festival in 1932 was the first film festival ever organized). In 1980 the first Intl. Architecture Exhibition took place, and in 1999 Dance made its debut at the Venice Biennale.
La Biennale di Venezia
The Venice Biennale (La Biennale di Venezia) – currently presided over by Paolo Baratta – has for over a century been one of the most prestigious cultural institutions in the world. Ever since its foundation, it has been at the forefront in the research and promotion of new artistic trends. In Venice, it organises international events in the field of the contemporary arts that are amongst the most important of their kind in the world.
In 2011, the Biennale is to organize the 3rd Arsenale della Danza (17th January to 15th May), the 2nd Kids’ Carnival (26th February to 8th March), the 54th International Art Exhibition - ILLUMInations (4th June to 27th November), the 68th Venice International Film Festival (31st August to 10th September), the 55th International Festival of Contemporary Music (24th September to 1st October), and the 41st International Theatre Festival (10th to 16th October).
New permanent activities run alongside these major events, thanks to the newly available refurbished permanent sites in Venice (Ca’ Giustinian and the Sala delle Colonne for exhibitions and meetings; area for kids; new Biennale Library-ASAC at Giardini for study, research and meetings; Workshops and Educational activities featuring master classes, projects for schools and guided tours; in addition to the Historical Archives of the Biennale at ASAC-VEGA and its collections available for consultation).
The new organization was born in 1998 after the transformation of the former Autonomous Body La Biennale di Venezia into a Cultural Society, a legal entity of private law that took on the name of Foundation in 2004.
