The 77th edition of the Venice Film Festival is the first major in-person film fest to be held in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Attendees have to follow strict safety measures like mandatory face masks indoors, temperature scanners, and socially distanced screenings to reduce the risk of infection. The public is barred from the red carpet, and big stars are expected to be largely absent this year. The 77th edition of the festival runs from 02 to 12 September 2020.
