Twenty films arrive on the Lido with no reputation yet — no reviews, no box office. Every one is a world premiere. Over eleven days, a jury decides which of them leaves with the Golden Lion, and the fall awards season takes its shape. Danny Boyle opens it. Maggie Gyllenhaal presides. The rest is unwritten. The 83rd Venice International Film Festival runs September 2–12, 2026, on the Venice Lido. Awards announced September 12.
