The 33rd annual Venice International Film Festival was held from 21 August to 3 September 1972.
There were no official prizes because the festival was not competitive from 1969 to 1979.[1][2][3] However, the critics' jury voted the Swedish film Foreigners, directed by Johan Bergenstrahle, the most worthy in the program.[4][5] Charlie Chaplin, Anatoli Golovnya and Billy Wilder were awarded the Career Golden Lion.
