1949, the film festival officially renamed the highest award "Best International Film" as "St. Mark's Golden Lion Award"; 1953 The "Best Italian Film" was withdrawn and the "Silver Lion Award of St. Mark" was added, which is the second award of Venice Film Festival after the Golden Lion Award. This change shows the ambition of internationalization and artistry of Venice Film Festival.

One of the characteristics of the Silver Lion Award is that it is not held every year. Sometimes it is awarded to films competing for the Golden Lion Award, and sometimes it is awarded to best debut, best short film and best director. Apart from the Golden Lion Award and the Silver Lion Award, Venice Film Festival also includes special jury award, best actor and actress, best director, best original script, best photography, best original music and other awards.
