Liliana Cavani is awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 80th Venice Biennale International Film Festival.
The decision was made by the Biennale’s Board of Directors, which endorsed the proposal of the Festival’s Director Alberto Barbera.
“I’m very happy and grateful to the Venice Biennale for this beautiful surprise,” said Cavani. She has participated in the Venice Film Festival since 1965 with Philippe Pétain: Trial at Vichy, St. Mark’s Lion for Documentary.
Liliana Cavani’s other appearances at the Venice Film Festival include those with the films Francis of Assisi (1966), Galileo (1968), and The Cannibals (1969). The last films that appeared are Ripley’s Game (2002), and Clarisse (2012).
The director of the Cinema Sector of the Biennale, Alberto Barbera, “She is one of the most emblematic protagonists of the new Italian cinema of the 1960s. Liliana Cavani is a versatile artist capable of frequenting television, theater, and opera music with the same unconventional spirit, and the same intellectual restlessness that made her films famous. Hers has always been a non-conformist thought, free from ideological preconceptions and unencumbered by conditioning of any kind. She is moved by the urgency of the continuous search for a truth hidden in the most hidden and mysterious parts of the human soul, up to the borders of spirituality.”
