The "10th" annual (void)
Venice International Film Festival was held from 30 August to 5 September 1942. The events were hosted at places far away from the Lido and very few countries participated due to
World War II and directors that were members of the
Rome-Berlin axis. Additionally, a strong
fascist political meddling from the Italian fascist government under
Benito Mussolini had led to Italy experiencing a period of cultural depression oppressed by
fascistpropaganda.[1][2]
It is the last edition before the suspension for the
Second World War.
