Proseguono di edizone in edizione le innovazioni della mostra: nel 1937 viene inaugurato il nuovo Palazzo del Cinema, opera dell'architetto Luigi Quagliata, costruito a tempo di record, secondo i dettami del Modernismo, diffusosi all'epoca, e mai più abbandonato nella storia della rassegna, tranne che tra il 1940 ed il 1948.
In questi anni, finalmente Venezia può celebrare il ritorno alla mostra del cinema americano, che si presenta con nuovi registi: Elia Kazan, Billy Wilder, Samuel Fuller, Robert Aldrich.
Le agitazioni sociali e politiche del 1968 ebbero forti ripercussioni anche sulla Biennale di Venezia, retta ancora dallo statuto di epoca fascista, e di conseguenza anche sulla mostra del cinema, da questa dipendente, che subì pesanti e continue contestazioni, portando a rompere con la tradizione secondo le linee di pensiero dell'epoca.

 San Rocco di Venezia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chiesa di San Rocco (Church of St Roch) in Venice was built between 1489 and 1508 by Bartolomeo Bon the Younger, but was substantially altered in 1725.
The neighbouring Scuola di San Rocco was founded in the 15th century as a confraternity to assist the citizens in time of plague.
St Roch, whose relics rest in the church, was declared a patron saint of the city in 1576 and every year, on his feast day (16 July), the Doge made a pilgrimage to the church.

The Scuola di San Rocco is one - and certainly the best preserved - of Venice's six Scuole Grandi (Major Guilds) which for many centuries, together with the minor Confraternities, formed the network of brotherhoods of religious nature.
These were set up to help the poor and sick, or to protect the interests of individual professions, or to help the weak and needy members of non-Venetian communities living in the city.
The guild, dedicated to San Rocco of Montpellier who died in Piacenza in 1327 and whose remains are thought to have been brought to Venice in 1485, was legally recognized in 1478.
