In supporting the 2021 Venice International Film Festival, Cartier strengthens its long-lasting commitment to preserving cultural heritage and supporting contemporary artistic creation
The Venice International Film Festival is the world's oldest film festival, and one of the most prestigious. First created by the Venice City Council in 1893, the festival is a celebration of international cinema and artistic freedom, as well as an event for retrospectives and tributes to major figures in cinema.
This year, the Venice International Film Festival returns for its 78th annual edition, to be held from 1 to 11 September, with iconic French jewellery house Cartier as its main sponsor.
As part of this collaboration, the Venice International Film Festival and Cartier will pay tribute to outstanding filmmakers through the Cartier Glory to the Filmmaker Award, which will be dedicated to a personality who has made a particularly original contribution to the contemporary film industry. The award ceremony will take place in Lido di Venezia, and promises to be a unique occasion that celebrates talent, creativity, and emotion.
