The 8th Venice International Film Festival was held from 23 August to 15 September 1947.[1] Screenwriter Vinicio Marinucci was appointed as the president of the jury.[2] Formally, it still was not the Golden Lion to designate the highest honor of the event. The prize was known as the Grand International Prize of Venice,[3] which was awarded to The Strike, directed by Karel Steklý.[4]
