Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl wins Queer Lion
Veteran director Marco Bellocchio’s Blood Of My Blood (Sangue Del Mio Sangue) has won the Fipresci Award at the 72nd Venice Film Festival (Sept 2-12).
The film is a vampire-themed period drama starring Alba Rohrwacher, who won last year’s Volpi prize for best actress with her performance in Hungry Hearts, as a 17th-century noblewoman who becomes a nun and seduces a young army officer and his twin brother. The film is sold by The Match Factory.
Venice’s ‘Collateral Awards’ - prizes assigned independently by film critics and cultural associations - also saw the Queer Lion Award go to Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl, starring Eddie Redmayne as Danish artist Lili Elbe, one of the first known recipients of sexual reassignment surgery.
The film, which receives its North American premiere at Toronto tonight (Sept 12), is a hot contender for the upcoming awards season.

Title: Harry’s Bar Director: Carlotta Cerquetti Genre: Documentary “You have never been to Venice if you haven’t gone to Harry’s Bar”, is the statement made by Arrigo Cipriani’s most faithful clients (Naomi Campbell).

It’s a place drenched with history, to the extent that the Italian Ministry for Cultural Affairs declared it a national landmark in 2001.
