Asian filmmaking confirmed its vitality, and with this year's most important works demonstrated that it had once again been capable of challenging the most intelligent spectacular effects from Hollywood.

Japanese animated filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki[3] and Italian actress Stefania Sandrelli[4] were each awarded a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[5][6] The Golden Lion was won by Brokeback Mountain.[7]

During this edition of the festival, an International Design Competition of the new Palazzo del Cinema took place. The winner of the competition was 5+1 & Rudy Ricciotti. The purpose of the new building is to house the main headquarters of the Film Festival, as well as congresses and cultural events.[8]
