Founded by [[Giuseppe Volpi]], member of the [[National Fascist Party]] and grandfather of famous producer [[Marina Cicogna]], in Venice in August 1932, the festival is part of the [[Venice Biennale]], one of the world's oldest exhibitions of art, created by the Venice City Council on 19 April 1893.<ref>{{cite web| title = La Biennale di Venezia – The origin | url = http://www.labiennale.org/en/art/history/origin.html?back=true | access-date = 9 September 2018 | date = 7 April 2017 }}</ref> The range of work at the Venice Biennale now covers Italian and international art, architecture, dance, music, theatre, and cinema.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Accounting and the Development of Management Control in the Cultural Sphere: The Case of the Venice Biennale|first1=Maria|last1=Bergamin Barbato|first2=Chiara|last2=Mio|date=1 March 2007|journal=Accounting, Business & Financial History|volume=17|issue=1|pages=187–208|doi=10.1080/09585200601127871|s2cid=154228824}}</ref> These works are experienced at separate exhibitions: the International Art Exhibition, the International Festival of Contemporary Music, the International Theatre Festival, the International Architecture Exhibition, the International Festival of Contemporary Dance, the International Kids' Carnival, and the annual Venice Film Festival, which is arguably the best-known of all the events.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
 
The festival is held in late August or early September on the island of the [[Venice Lido|Lido]] in the [[Venice Lagoon]]. During the festival, Venice hosts many events and parties, interviews and meetings with filmmakers and actors every night, venues open all night, and parties are held in beautiful casino palaces and gardens.<ref>{{Cite web |title=International Venice Film Festival {{!}} Venice-Welcome.com |url=https://www.venicewelcome.com/info/events_of_venice/venice_international_film_festival.htm |access-date=2024-03-30 |website=www.venicewelcome.com}}</ref> Screenings take place in the historic [[Palazzo del Cinema di Venezia|Palazzo del Cinema]] on the Lungomare Marconi.

The long-awaited rebirth came in 1979, thanks to the new director [[Carlo Lizzani]] (1979–1983), who decided to restore the image and value the festival had lost over the last decade. The [[36th Venice International Film Festival|1979 edition]] laid the foundation for the restoration of international prestige. In an attempt to create a more modern image of the festival, the neo-director created a committee of experts to assist in selecting the works and to increase the diversity of submissions to the festival.
