33rd Venice International Film Festival

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. However, the critics' jury voted the Swedish film Foreigners, directed by Johan Bergenstrahle, the most worthy in the program. Charlie Chaplin, Anatoli Golovnya and Billy Wilder were awarded the Career Golden Lion.
