Venice Film Festival in Venice, August 30, 2005. The 62nd Venice
Film Festival opens on Wednesday, bringing 11 days of showbiz
parties and glamour to the lagoon city. For the first time,
security has also been at the forefront for organisers, as the
festival, in the wake of the London bombings, obliges its visitors
to go through security checks for the first time. (Alessia
