Photo Gallery: Children, Masks, Distancing starring in the 77th Edition of the Venice Film Festival

US actress Maya Hawke wears a face mask as she arrives for the premiere of 'Mainstream' during the 77th annual Venice International Film Festival, in Venice, Italy, 05 September 2020. The movie is presented in the Orizzonti section at the festival running from 02 September to 12 September. The event is the first major in-person film fest to be held in the wake of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. Attendees have to follow strict safety measures like mandatory face masks indoors, temperature scanners, and socially distanced screenings to reduce the risk of infection. The public is barred from the red carpet, and big stars are expected to be largely absent this year. EPA-EFE/ETTORE FERRARI

The 77th edition of the festival, which opened Wednesday and runs through Sept. 12, is the first major international film event to take place since the coronavirus closed down movie theaters, film sets and public gatherings across the globe.
