Brian De Palma's The Black Dahlia was the opening film of the festival, and Pavel Lungin's The Island was the closing film. Italian actress Isabella Ferrari was the host of both ceremonies.[1]

During the festival, retrospectives were held on the one hundredth anniversary of the births of three major Italian directors: Roberto Rossellini, Mario Soldati and Luchino Visconti. The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement was presented to American director David Lynch. All the films running the contest were shown for the first time as world premiere in the festival history since the Second World War.[2][3]

Jia Zhangke's Still Life won the Golden Lion, the festival top prize, following main competition prizes to Alain Resnais, Emanuele Crialese, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, Isild Le Besco, Emmanuel Lubezki, Peter Morgan, and a Special Lion to french filmmakers duo Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet for their innovation in cinematographic languages.
