If yesterday we talked about San Sebastian festival news, today it is the turn of Venice: the traditional Italian exhibition will begin on August 29 with a novelty: the "Gay Lion" will be instituted for reward to gay-themed movies.
This award will accompany the traditional "Golden Lion", which is awarded to the best film in the competition. The statuette will be the same, but on the wings it will have the colors of the rainbow. In this way, the line of the Berlin Festival continues, which has given a similar award called "Teddy" for 21 years.
And according to the organizers, one of the main attractions of the festival will be the screening for the first time of the film «Blade Runner, The Final Cut », which will be presented on September 1 by its director Ridley Scott.
