Silver Lion

The Leone d’Argento (English: 'Silver Lion') refers to a number of awards presented at the Venice Film Festival. The Silver Lion is awarded irregularly and have gone through several changes of purpose. Until 1995, Silver Lions were infrequently awarded to a number of films as second prize for those nominated for the Golden Lion. At various times, Silver Lions have also been awarded for debut films, short films and direction.

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or lion:

    They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;
    But all that are killed in battle
    Awaken to life again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Enough if the work has seemed,
    So did she your strength renew,
    A dream that a lion had dreamed
    Till the wilderness cried aloud.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
