The Venice Days festival is not competitive, although the Europa Cinemas Label will be presented at the event, with the winning film benefiting from promotion and screenings at theaters in the Europa Cinemas network.
Venice Days will also feature a screening of Les Neiges du Kilimandjaro (The Snows of Kilimanjaro) by Robert Guédigian, which was screened at this year’s Cannes Film Festival at the Un Certain Regard sidebar and has now been selected as one of three finalists for the Lux Prize awarded by the European parliament
