The Pre-Opening Documentary Tribute to Franca Sozzani, FRANCA: CHAOS AND CREATION, screened to critical acclaim at the Venice Film Festival. Director Francesco Carrozzini creates an intimate portrait of his mother, Franca Sozzani, the legendary editor of Vogue Italia. Sozzani was known for exploring taboo subjects, championing models of color, and giving photographers creative control. From the ridiculous to the sublime, her astonishing but often controversial magazine covers broke the rules and set the bar high for fashion. Featuring interviews with Karl Lagerfeld, Bruce Weber, Baz Luhrmann, and Courtney Love, this love letter from a son to his mother gives us a glimpse into Sozzani’s creative process.
