Lily-Rose, Sophie, and Dakota at the 2016 Venice Film Festival
The 73rd Annual Venice Film Festival
French-American actress Lily-Rose Depp, 17, looked glamorous at the premiere of Planetarium with former young actress Natalie Portman, 35 (who now lives primarily in France), on September 8. The two play sisters in the period drama, set in 1930's Paris.
Sophie Turner, 20, at the festival's Kineo Diamanti Award Ceremony on September 4. Tiziana Rocca, director of the Kineo Award, said, "We are very happy that Sophie Turner has agreed to be in Venice because she embodies talent and professionalism and will be the best combination for success."
Sophie at a press conference a few hours before the award ceremony. She flew to Venice right after wrapping her newest film, Huntsville, in which she plays a troubled American teenager living in small-town Florida. She posted on Instagram: What a completely unforgettable experience with the most magical people. That's a wrap on Josie. #huntsvillefilm.
Dakota Fanning, 22, at the premiere of Brimstone on September 3. She stars as a young mute woman in the Western drama; she said at a press conference that she was drawn to the film for its strong female lead in a usually male-centric drama: "For any genre, it's very rare to have a story about a woman in these times. It's a lot of male-dominated films, so anytime I see a film that is really about the strength and the power of the lead female character, I'm always intrigued."
British young actress Emilia Jones, 14, at a photocall for Brimstone on September 3. She plays Dakota's character, the mute Joanna, at a younger age in the film. After learning that Brimstone had been selected for the Venice Film Festival, Emilia posted on her Twitter account: So exciting! Congratulations @MartinKoolhoven 🎉 I had the best summer ever working with everyone on @BrimstoneMovie
Dakota, Emilia, and director Martin Koolhoven at a photocall for Brimstone, also on September 3. It was nice to see Dakota wearing colors for a change.
