Actress Crystal Donna Wows at 2015 Venice Film Festival

Arianne Suggs September 8, 2015September 8, 2015Leave a Comment

The Venice Film Festival of 2015 has been all abuzz with the news of history being made thanks to the hard-earned efforts of a South African director. Award-winning SA filmmaker Oliver Hermanus’ third film The Endless River was selected as the first ever SA film to compete for The Golden Lion. The Golden Lion is the top award/prize that can be received during The Venice Film Festival.

The Golden Lion is not to be taken lightly, winning and even being nominated can give a film much publicity and credit. For instance, last year the film Birdman competed along with other selected films in order to receive the coveted honor. Birdman went on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. In view of the nomination producer Genevieve Hofmeyr said,

“We are thrilled about this prestigious selection… it is a great achievement for Oliver, the entire team and the broader South African industry.”

The Endless River is being highly praised as an extraordinary film and a must see drama of a relationship that evolves between a waitress (Donna) and French deportee after his family is brutally murdered. Another must see was Crystal Donna’s leading lady red carpet look for The Endless River’s premiere. Donna floated past flashing cameras in a black and white ensemble with sheer detailing. Donna is definitely set to be a stunning and talented movie star!
