Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement

The Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (Italian: Leone d'oro alla carriera, lit.'Career Golden Lion') is an award given at the Venice Film Festival. It is awarded to directors, actors and other personalities from the world of cinema who have distinguished themselves in the art. Among the winners are Charlie Chaplin, Manoel de Oliveira, Stanley Kubrick, Alida Valli, Sophia Loren and many other figures of international film.[1] It joins the Golden Lion, the festival's highest prize, which is instead awarded to a film in competition.[2]
