1st Venice International Film Festival
Italian film festival in 1932
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1st annual Venice International Film Festival was held between 6 and 21 August 1932.[1] Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was the first film to be screened at the festival.[1][2] No official prizes were awarded, so an audience referendum took place to determine the winners.[1][3]
