ACTIVITY 151: You are going to read an article about four famous film festivals. For questions 1-10, choose from the festival (A, B, C or D). The festivals may be chosen more than once. Then check the correct answers.

BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL Film producers have been competing for the Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival or Berlinale, since 1951. About 350 films are shown at the fortnight-long festival held in February every year. As well as being one of the world's most prestigious film festivals, with 150,000 tickets sold, the Berlinale is also one of the biggest. More than 16,000 film professionals, including 3,600 journalists from about 80 countries are accredited for the festival every year. CANNES FILM FESTIVAL The inaugural Cannes Film Festival was held in September 1939, but the event moved to April during the 1950s. The festival established itself during the 1960s, and has since secured its status as the world's most prestigious, attracting over 40,000 movie industry workers every year. About 20 feature films compete for the Palme d'Or, but unlike the Oscars, the top prize is frequently shared between two films. Previous winners have included Michael Moore and Quentin Tarantino. VENICE FILM FESTIVAL The Venice Film Festival - or Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica - is the oldest film festival still in existence. It was first held in 1932 as part of the 18th Venice Biennale, and it took place on the terrace of the Hotel Excelsior, attracting more than 25,000 people. The festival is held in August and September and the top prize is the Golden Lion. Films that were screened as world-premieres at the 61st Venice Film Festival in 2004 were nominated for 16 of the Oscars that year. LONDON FILM FESTIVAL The London Film Festival started in 1956 when a group of film critics decided over dinner that London needed a film festival. The first festival featured 20 films and its aim was to give the public the opportunity to see films from around the world that were not being shown in the cinema. It is now one of Europe's largest public film events, screening about 280 films from 60 countries. The London Film Festival is held in October and November and is non-competitive.
