The 62nd annual Venice International Film Festival opened on 31 August 2005 with Tsui Hark's Seven Swords[1] and closed on 10 September 2005 with a screening of Peter Ho-sun Chan's musical Perhaps Love.[2] The lineups were announced by the festival director Marco Müller on 28 July 2005 in Rome. The digital films competed in all categories for the first time of the festival history.

Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki[3] and Italian actress Stefania Sandrelli[4] were both awarded a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.[5][6] The Golden Lion was won by Brokeback Mountain.[7]
