The Venice Film Festival, now in its 73rd edition, opened yesterday. Main Sponsor of the film festival is once again the Maison Jaeger-LeCoultre, with a programme of events and initiatives aimed at highlighting its bond with the Seventh Art. Starting with the traditional awarding of the Glory to the Filmmaker prize to the great Iranian director Amir Naderi. On the occasion of the Venice Film Festival's closing ceremony, Jaeger-LeCoultre will offer the winners of the Golden Lion and the Volpi Cups the legendary Reverso watch, which celebrates its 85th anniversary this year, created in a unique and special version: each watch is decorated with a lacquered engraving of the official Biennale Cinema logo representing the lion, the symbol of the Venice Biennale, the edition of the Venice Film Festival, and the category of the prestigious prize awarded.
