To apply for Industry accreditation, it is necessary to prove your activity in the film industry. When applying, please provide your professional supporting documents in accordance with the accreditation requirements.

It is necessary to send a formal and complete request by filling out the appropriate form, available under each accreditation category.

Please only include one single document containing all relevant information for the evaluation (cv, active and updated links and any other material evidencing professional activity). Evidence can only be considered in Italian or English.

The function/position of the applicant in the company is a deciding factor for the assessment of the request. It is necessary to send up-to-date information about the company’s field of activities and the applicant position.

We regret that applications without evidence cannot be processed.

The Registration Office will evaluate the accreditation requests and will send a written communication with all the information regarding the type of accreditation issued.

The type of accreditation and the number of accreditations issued for each company are at the sole discretion of La Biennale di Venezia.
