The 75th Venice International Film Festival was held from 29 August to 8 September 2018, at Venice Lido in Italy.
Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro was the jury president for the main competition. Italian actor Michele Riondino hosted the opening and closing nights of the festival. The Golden Lion was awarded to Roma by Alfonso Cuarón.
The festival poster was made by Italian artist Lorenzo Mattotti, who designed it in the way "that attracts the eye, that attracts thought, but without revealing too much."
The festival opened with First Man by Damien Chazelle, and closed with Driven by Nick Hamm.
