The "10th" (void) Venice International Film Festival was held from 30 August to 5 September 1942. Together with the 1940 and 1941 it is 'considered void- as if they did not happen'. This is due to the fact that not only were the events carried out in places far away from the Lido. but also only very few countries participated due to World War II with an absolute monopoly of institutions 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 fascist propaganda.[1][2] It is the last edition before the suspension for the Second World War.
