Take part in the Cinema Veneto Leone di Vetro® Award 2026, produced and created by Avanspettacolo Venezia. The award was established to recognize directors, producers, actors, screenwriters, cinematographers and other artistic and technical professionals connected to Veneto cinema, as well as productions created in the Veneto region. The aim of the award is not only to celebrate a local cinema, but to highlight talents and professionals whose work contributes to a cinema with international relevance and growing ambition. The ceremony will take place during a Gala Dinner at Avanspettacolo Venezia, which will host the reception, entertainment and show for guests and award winners. The winners will receive a prestigious Murano glass award, handmade by Venetian master glassmakers, symbolizing the connection between the excellence of cinema and the prestige of Venetian craftsmanship.
