Elisa Sednaoui Hits the Venice Film Festival


Elisa Sednaoui

This year, Elisa Sednaoui was named the official “godmother” of the opening and closing ceremonies at the 2015 International Venice Film Festival—a role that is much more work intensive than you might think. Here, the model, who has dabbled with acting and directing herself, (and now focuses on her own charitable foundation), shares her photo diary from the red carpet to backstage.
