The inaugural Gucci award for Women in Cinema nominees are announced

Gucci announced the nominees for its first 'Women in Cinema' award, in collaboration with the Venice Film Festival.

Celebrating outstanding artistic achievement by a woman in film-making, the nominees have been selected from all walks of the film industry, from acting, directing or producing, to set and costume designing and editing, and were chosen by a jury including Gucci's creative director, Frida Giannini, and actors Robin Wright and James Franco, amongst others.

The winner will be announced at a ceremony during a private dinner hosted by Giannini on September 2, when Gucci will make a grant of $25,000 to the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in the recipients name.
