The eighth edition of the Filming Italy Venice Award is held on August 6th in the Sala degli Stucchi of the Hotel Excelsior. Tiziana Rocca, who is the creator and founder of the event, has awarded two protagonists of international cinema: Irina Shayk and Orlando Bloom. A symbiosis, that of Tiziana Rocca with the Venice Film Festival, which was born over the years through the experience in organizing collateral events on the terrace of the Venice Casino, hosting international stars including Woody Allen, Meryl Streep, Sylvester Stallone, and George Clooney. A professional, emotional, and passionate bond that inspired Tiziana Rocca to promote cinematic excellence by creating the Filming Italy Venice Award. “An event that allows us to attract the attention of enthusiasts to the artistic aspect and the cultural value of cinema in all its manifestations,” states Rocca, “the event also celebrates the talent, creativity, and extraordinary strength of women in the world of cinema. Born with the objective of enhancing the protagonists of the audiovisual industry and their artistic contribution, the award has grown exponentially, establishing itself over time as one of the most anticipated and prestigious appointments of the Venice International Film Festival.”
The Venice Film Festival represents a reference point for cinematic art, while with the Filming Italy Venice Award Tiziana Rocca aims to enhance cinema and spread its every dimension, not only artistic, but allowing to communicate its vastness and valorize talents. The Venice Film Festival unites tradition and innovation, just as Tiziana Rocca manages to renew the Filming Italy Venice Award every year by capturing the essence that is the engine of cinema, awarding and rediscovering the excellences that have made cinema an authentic international passion, while maintaining a firm focus on the themes of inclusion and gender equality.
“And every year then I try to innovate. This year at the Filming Italy Venice Award, actor Orlando Bloom will receive the award: he is an interpreter of extraordinary charisma, capable of captivating audiences worldwide with elegance, talent, and versatility, and over the course of his career he has brought to life iconic characters that have entered the collective imagination. Therefore, I am proud to celebrate the artistic journey of established talents, and to give visibility to the youth.”
Irina Shayk will receive the Filming Italy Venice International Award: “Irina perfectly represents that capacity to transform talent and one’s own image into an international language, becoming over the years one of the most recognizable and influential personalities of contemporary fashion. Her career is an example of determination, professionalism, and an extraordinary ability to renew oneself, always maintaining a very strong identity. She has been able to cross different worlds, from fashion to cinema, with naturalness and great personality; she deserves this recognition which has always aimed to celebrate the talent, creativity, and strength of women.”
With the Filming Italy Venice Award, Tiziana Rocca valorizes and celebrates works, talents, and productions that stand out for originality and artistic quality, and over the years she has managed to form an influential platform in the audiovisual sector with a cutting-edge eye directed towards the new generations and female presences, in a combination of purposes with other realities created by Rocca herself such as Filming Italy Sardegna and Film Italy Los Angeles, with the latter allowing to give visibility to Italian excellences abroad.
