The 62nd annual Venice International Film Festival opened on 31 August 2005 with Tsui Hark's Seven Swords[1] and closed on 10 September 2005 with a screening of Peter Ho-sun Chan's musical Perhaps Love.[2] The lineups were announced by the festival director Marco Müller on 28 July 2005 in Rome. The digital films can compete in all categories for the first time of the festival history.

Asian filmmaking confirmed its vitality, and with this year's most important works demonstrated that it had once again been capable of challenging the most intelligent spectacular effects from Hollywood.

Japanese animated filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki[3] and Italian actress Stefania Sandrelli[4] were each awarded a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[5][6] The Golden Lion was won by Brokeback Mountain.[7]

During this edition of the festival, an International Design Competition of the new Palazzo del Cinema took place. The winner of the competition was 5+1 & Rudy Ricciotti. The purpose of the new building is to house the main headquarters of the Film Festival, as well as congresses and cultural events.[8]
