The 72nd Venice International Film Festival ran on Venice Lido from 2nd to 12th September 2015, directed by Alberto Barbera.

The third edition of the Final Cut in Venice workshop will take place from September 7 to September 8, 2015 during the Venice Film Market of the 72nd Venice International Film Festival (Lido di Venezia, 2nd - 12th September 2015).
The Festival's purpose is to provide concrete assistance in the completion of films from Africa and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria; and to offer producers and directors an opportunity to present films still in the production phase to international film professionals and distributors in order to facilitate post-production and promote co-production partnerships and market access.

La troisième édition de l'atelier Final Cut in Venice aura lieu du 7 au 8 septembre 2015 dans le cadre du Venice Film Market de la 72ème Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica (Lido de Venise, 2-12 septembre 2015).
La Mostra souhaite apporter une aide concrète à l'achèvement de films provenant de pays africains et d'Irak, Jordanie, Liban, Territoires Palestiniens et Syrie afin d'offrir à leurs producteurs et réalisateurs l'opportunité de présenter des films en phase de post-production à des professionnels du monde entier, dans le but d'enfaciliter la postproduction et leur accès au marché, ainsi que de promouvoir d'éventuels partenariats de coproduction.
