The festival opens with the premiere of Brian De Palmas latest film ‘The Black Dahlia’, and also features world premieres for all the other in competition films including the lone British entry, ‘The Queen’ with Helen Mirren.

Take in a couple of films and indulge in some celebrity watching at the Lido, and then hop over to the city and enjoy a gondola ride and the Piazza San Marco.
