Once again this year Tucano is the official supplier of the Venice Production Bridge 2020, having produced the official shoppers for the Venice International Film Festival, the most important Italian film festival but also one of the world’s most iconic cinema events, scheduled to be held on the Lido di Venezia from the 2nd through the 12th of September.

This year, the well-established partnership, now over 15 years, between The Cinema Biennale and Tucano, has produced custom eco-friendly shoppers made with recycled-plastic materials. Tucano‘s commitment to eco-sustainability, through the creation of bags and backpacks in materials made from plastic waste, highlights the need to give a second life to used materials, initiating a virtuous cycle that has the potential to continue indefinitely. An important topic at the center of continuous, ecological evolution, where originality and novelty come together with discarded materials, waste and innovation, interwoven with a common thread: responsibility.

Tucano’s journey in support of ecology is well-integrated with the prestigious aims of the 2020 Cinema Biennale, in the firm belief that culture is the most suitable context in which to embrace and promote such an important topic and one that is capable of generating real change. The jury of the 77th edition of The Venice International Film Festival of the Biennale di Venezia will be chaired by Cate Blanchett, an icon of international cinema, who will award the Golden Lion for best film, along with all the other awards, during the closing night ceremonies. The opening film, among the titles not in competition, is Lacci by Daniele Luchetti, based on the novel by Domenico Starnone. Four Italian directors will be in the competition: Emma Dante, Gianfranco Rosi, Susanna Nicchiarelli and Claudio Noce with interesting works dealing with a variety of themes.
