Inspired by on-the-road cinema and created by Lorenzo Mattotti, here is the official poster of the 80th Venice Film Festival
For the sixth consecutive year, it is the Italian illustrator and author Lorenzo Mattotti to sign the image of the official poster of the Venice Biennale International Film Festival, now in its eightieth edition, which will be held from 30 August to 9 September 2023. Mattotti himself, who also signed the official theme song of the festival, explained the meaning of his creation.
The image is inspired by the tradition of cinema on the road and in this way aims to express feelings of freedom, adventure and the discovery of new territories. I played with graphics to represent new worlds to explore through Cinema. We are convinced that there is a great future for Cinema that looks far ahead and ventures into new paths. Furthermore, this year the Exhibition is celebrating its 80th edition and we wanted to commemorate it in the number that appears on the license plate of an imaginary car. Of course there are many films that can be evoked by looking at this image, for example Overtaking, Easy Rider or Thelma and Louise. Everyone finds his film on the road. It is a wish for Cinema, that it goes far and runs towards the future. A future made of explorations, in search of new frontiers: a bright and colorful cinema.
