Ginevra Elkann

Ginevra Elkann

Ginevra Elkann (born 1979) is an apprentice film director, and, as granddaughter of Gianni Agnelli, is among the heirs to the Agnelli family fortune. She is the daughter of Margherita Agnelli and the French-Italian writer Alain Elkann; her brother, the industrialist John Elkann, is widely expected to be the next head of the Fiat group.

Career

Elkann worked as third assistant director on Bernardo Bertolucci’s 1998 film L’assedio, and was video assistant on Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999). Later she studied film directing at the London Film School and in 2005 her 6th term graduation film, the nine-minute "Vado a messa" (“I’m going to Mass”), was screened during a “Cinema Schools” special event at the 62nd Venice International Film Festival. Asked whether she had any particular subjects in mind for a feature-length film, she mentioned two: a thriller set in the world of synchronized swimming, and an adaptation of her father’s story "Piazza Carignano", which concerns a Fascist Jew.
