Joanna Quinn Instagram – Some sketches of people I met at @cafoscarishort film festival last week. A unique festival of student films run by students with professor @robertanovielli as their captain.
1. The gorgeous Japanese film producer @keikommekusakabe in her fabulous fake fur jacket.
2. A study of wrinkles and mascara. A beautiful older Italian lady that sat by me. Perfect prey!
3. French film director and screenwriter @pleguay2 I drew him a few times as he has the best animated face!
4. A poor chap exhausted from waiting.
5. Film critic & writer Carlo Montenaro @la_fabbrica_del_vedere talking about his unique Venetian museum of early cinema.
6. The mighty @luc_pil lighting a cigarette. Luca keeps all the cogs of the festival well oiled.
7. The very special Cecilia Cossio who is a world authority on Indian cinema and the Hindu language. A powerhouse of a woman.
8. My very funny new chum @cynthiafelando who is an academic and writer from Santa Barbara.
9. Italian Film Director Antonietta De Lillo being interviewed about her work.
10. Gabrielle on stage interviewing, with her lovely tumbly hair.
It feels wrong to post happy things while Gaza bleeds but i want to say thank you to those who invited us to Venice and bent over backwards to welcome us and look after us so well. I do not take travel for granted and reminds me of how precious it is to have freedom to travel and not live under violent subjugation. ā¤ļø
