Venice International Film Festival
September 2 to 12, 2026
Venice, Italy
The brief
The Venice Film Festival sets the year's awards conversation. The opening-night premiere on the Lido is the first room every studio wants its principals seen in. The closing weekend hands out the Golden Lion, which the next six months of cinema is then organised around.
Sirr arranges the parts of Venice the festival programme does not list. Premiere seats held in the Sala Grande. After-screening dinners at private palazzos along the Grand Canal. Quiet introductions to the directors and producers who matter, before the press line catches them.
By the time the closing-night Lion is announced, our principals have already met the people who handed it over.
