is rolling out a juried impact award that will mark the first time a major film festival has awarded a prize focused solely on impact.
Venice organizers said the award will honor a film in the official selection that “has the greatest potential to unlock human potential and have a transformative impact on society.” The jury will assess the films’ artistic creativity and uniqueness; their relevance and need in the global political climate; their potential to challenge audience perspectives on issues presented; and their potential to inspire audiences to take action.
