Tucano has confirmed that in 2021, it will once again take on the role of the official supplier of eco-friendly shoppers for the Biennale di Venezia, the prestigious and internationally renowned cultural institution. In addition, it will also be the official supplier for the Venice Production Bridge on the occasion of the 78th edition of the globally relevant Venice International Film Festival, scheduled to start on 1 September 2021.
Designed ad hoc, the Tucano shoppers for the Biennale have been made with recycled plastic materials, following the same path of innovative research undertaken by the company in recent years which has resulted in the creation of new, eco-friendly product lines. Each one of these custom tote bags represents 15 half-liter plastic bottles that have been recycled and saved from the landfill.

Art, Architecture, Cinema, Dance, Theatre and Music are the six sectors of the Venice Biennale that enliven the city with exhibitions and educational activities that aim to inspire and promote new contemporary artistic trends.
The 17th International Architecture Exhibition, open to the public from 22 May to 21 November 2021, will include 112 participants from 46 countries. Iraq, Grenada and Uzbekistan will be present for the first time while men and women will be equally represented, promoting and embodying a climate of inclusion.
The 2021 International Architecture Exhibition is entitled “How will we live together?” An open question, today more relevant than ever, and a stimulus not only for architects but for an increasingly demanding public looking for new spaces for a better future, in which personal relationships regain the focus they deserve.
As it has for many previous years, Tucano‘s established participation in Venice continues to provide extraordinary opportunities to promote the theme of sustainability in a cultural environment already oriented towards change.

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.

Once again this year, Tucano is the official supplier for the Venice International Film Festival, not only the most important film festival in Italy but also one of the world’s most iconic cinema events, to be held at the Lido di Venezia from the 28th of August through the 7th of September. A durable and lasting partnership between Venice’s Cinema Biennale and Tucano has been established over the course of the last fifteen years, thanks to the now historic shopper for the Industry Office, created ad hoc for the festival and, for this occasion, offered in four different colors: blue, fuchsia, green, and black. But, the newest product for the 76th edition is Tucano’s latest black neoprene shopper, designed to hold and transport the Leone d’Oro (Golden Lion award). This bag from Tucano’s O.D.D.S collection—the acronym stands for Our Dreams Deserve Space—will be used as a protective cover for the coveted international award. A name capable of embodying a vision, perhaps even a premonition: dreams and cinema, desires and representation.
In addition to supporting Tucano’s passion for the big screen, the company’s partnership with the Cinema Biennale expresses the connection between iconic stature and the beauty of a unique location. This year’s edition will once again be directed by Alberto Barbera and the actress Alessandra Mastronardi will emcee the opening and closing ceremonies. Lucrecia Martel, surely the most important Latin American director in recent years, an interesting and counter-trend artist—also when it comes to the relatively small number of works made available to the public—will preside over the jury. This year, Golden Lions for Lifetime Achievement will be awarded to the Spanish director Pedro Almodovar and British actress Julie Andrews.

The 75th Venice International Film Festival, headed up by Alberto Barbera, which runs from August 29th to September 8th in the picturesque setting of the Lido, will feature a jury led by Mexican film director Guillermo Del Toro who won the Golden Lion in 2017 for his film ‘The Shape of Water’.
Walking across the coveted red carpet will be famous visitors such as Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. The Golden Lion Honorary award will be given to both Vanessa Redgrave and David Cronenberg.
Once again this year, Tucano has created the official shopper for this event – the most important film festival in Italy, which is also among the most prestigious in the world – confirming the brand’s strong bond with the world of cinema and with all of the important cultural and artistic events surrounding it. The shopper, designed exclusively for the event and featuring an especially unique color palette, will enliven the already stimulating environs of the Festival, showcasing Tucano’s unmistakable, signature style.
The American film ‘First Man’, directed by American filmmaker Damien Chazelle and starring Ryan Gosling, has been chosen as the Festival’s opening film. The film depicts the NASA mission to land Neil Armstrong on the moon. The closing film will be ‘Driven’ by Nick Hamm, a movie inspired by a true story involving an FBI agent and a pilot who became an informant.

The collaboration between Tucano and the Venice International Film Festival of the Biennale di Venezia is once again consolidated by participating in a project that is a global expression of art and culture. There is a longstanding affinity between Tucano and the Venice International Film Festival, expressed through products designed exclusively for the festival and “Made in Milano”. This year the Lungomare Marconi will once more be filled with tote bags in green, orange, and blue, which have been made for the event’s Industry Office.
The opening film of the festival will be Downsizing by Alexander Payne, followed by a series of highly anticipated titles, including: Suburbicon, directed by George Clooney and written by the Coen brothers; The Shape of Water directed by Guillermo del Toro, and Koreeda Hirokazu’s The Third Murder. Paolo Virzì will be presenting his first American film The Leisure Seeker but he’s not the only Italian Director. Also on the schedule are: the musical Ammore e Malavita, by the Manetti Bros.; Andrea Pallaoro’s Hannah, with Charlotte Rampling in the starring role; and Sebastiano Riso, the director of Una Famiglia (A Family).
Special films being shown outside of the competition include those by Amelio, Soldini, Patierno and Antonietta de Lillo. Among this year’s innovations we find the large space that is devoted to virtual reality with no less than 22 products created for the event.
The jury, headed up by President Annette Bening, will be composed of 9 well-known cinema and culture personalities from several different countries.
During the event it will be possible to purchase the official tote bag, produced by Tucano for the merchandising stores, in three different locations (in Cà Giustinian and Giardini and Arsenale areas), you can also buy a selection of Tucano products at Cà Giustinian in Venice.
