Venice Film Festival chronology

The 71st annual Venice International Film Festival took place in Venice, Italy between 27 August to 6 September 2014.[1] The festival opened with Alejandro G. Iñárritu's film Birdman,[2][3] and closed with Ann Hui's drama film The Golden Era.[4] Italian actress Luisa Ranieri hosted the opening and closing nights of the festival.[5] The Swedish film A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence, directed by Roy Andersson, won the Golden Lion,[6] and Joshua Oppenheimer's The Look of Silence won the Grand Jury Prize.

American filmmakers Thelma Schoonmaker and Frederick Wiseman were the recipients of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[7] French composer Alexandre Desplat was the head of the jury for the main competition section.[8]

The festival poster paid tribute to François Truffaut, as it featured the character of Antoine Doinel portrayed by Jean-Pierre Léaud from Truffaut's 1959 drama film The 400 Blows.[9][10]
