AmfAR gala and auction held Wednesday evening in the Arsenale, a former shipyard complex on the edge of the city’s Grand Canal.
Though undoubtedly lower key than the event held at Cannes, AmfAR Venice had its fair share of glamour and star power with Heather Graham, Patricia Clarckson, Marisa Tomei and Rachel Brosnahan among chairs. Honorees included Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek feted in recognition for how his movies bring to the fore characters within the LGBTQ community. Onstage Ozpetek recounted how when he made the film “Mine Vaganti” he was told by the distributor, 01 Distribution, that “if you cut the scene of the kiss between two men, the film could make two million [Euros] more [at the local box office]. I said: ‘no’.
Sponsors included Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival, Campari, and Picticular the app that helps movie fans find films on all platforms. “We are carrying the torch for Elisabeth,” said the startup’s co-founder Todd Courtney.
