fiona bennett's makeups of the stars including brad pitt actually buys a house designed by her in the us. if you looked at the nominations for the m.t.v. v.m. a's this year the men didn't get much of a look at is what the music industry is all about at the moment with taylor swift and ariana grande dominating the awards with 10 nominations each also the video vying god award went to rapper missy elliott so let's have a look at who took away the big prizes this year. taylor swift won the m.t.v. video of the year award for you need to calm down the artist called out the trump administration for not responding to the equality act petition for l.g.b. t.q. rights promoted in the video. rock icon missy elliott received a lifetime achievement award this is the elliott is being honored tonight is one of my favorite entertainers all time and i think that this honors over do i love her

as a person she has an amazing heart but as an entertainer she the game change so i'm so excited to be in the building. and as is tradition and t.v. there were plenty of x. privat in fashion statements her and a host of stuff as i. moved a lot but the big story of the evening was the triumphant return of taylor swift who also took home the video for good award and performed love from her new album. the venice film festival kicks off this week and that means locker room dollar crime of the film. world heading to italy to watch the biggest film premiere with

the biggest stars and we're about to take a peek at some of the movies they'll be looking at the festival is also considered the of the romance of the academy awards next february to tell as well so all this means and going to is through this year is movies david left it's now the oscars a still haul for year why he did it so what is all the fuss about the other half a year away but they're also half a year away robin but instead it's time for the studios to really go into overdrive crank it up and show the academy and all the other awards what they've got and that's what they're doing this is the kickoff to oscar season ok so i was a big movie primarily and a festival that we should look out for well in terms of hollywood movies and big production values the number one movie i would say is ad astra this is a deep space if i draw my story brad pitt as an astronaut who goes to the edges of

our solar system in order to save our planet of course but also to find his father who's also an astronaut played by tommy lee jones who's gotten lost out there somewhere and who may have turned to the dark side as it were turned to the doctor ok let's have a quick look at that. psychological evaluation. describe your current commercial. study. ready to do my job so best my abilities. in just one controls it's a mystery. train system. space congolese my father switched on simple.

serious thing seriously has oscar nomination written all over it great cast and director james gray said that he wanted to depict space travel the most realistic that anyone had ever seen and any film to date of course is just getting better and better and better so looks like it may deliver on that yeah it does look good while his hollywood summing up well another big premiere of venice this year is joker this is a new take on the d.c. comics villain that we all know and love or hate this time with joaquin fever you know that you don't need me as something i no longer want to. and not want to pictures and i think we were trying to see joker with joaquin phoenix well i'll tell you a little bit about it so this version of joker really has a psychological take on the villain with joaquin phoenix playing him as a stand up comedian there we go stand up comedian who is exposed to the hard knocks

of life and his psyche just sort of cracks and then he turns to chaos and the dark side as well now this is a role that's been played in recent years by a lot of big actors including jared leto heath ledger won an oscar for his portrayal of joker so it's going to be exciting to see what joaquin phoenix also a great actor brings to this kid i think he's a great actor too but it's not all about hollywood walk should be looking at the festival now what movie i'm excited to see that we actually just got a little look at there is called the truth this is by japanese director hugo cause a core data but it takes place in france and he does something that no french director has managed to do he's brought together 2 of the big icons of french cinema catskin the nov and juliette binoche for the very 1st time in a film can you believe it took a japanese director to do that and a little bit about the movie. plays a big actress must come easy to her and she's just. written her memoirs and you know for sure place her daughter is not happy with what's in them ok let's have

a quick look at that we saw ted about. lee. you know that you'll need a new law. i'm not going to tell says you don't need anybody maybe. you got that week. to zele if you want your public thanks. so much we've got an exam and you know i need the money for. you. so this is a record a does 1st movie outside japan now international audiences know him best for shoplifters the movie that won him the top prize at cannes last and they're talking of can this is the 2nd year the french festival refused to show netflix films and of course venice is benefits it's right there are going to venice last year the big

the big talking point was of course of the film roma couldn't be played at cannes because it was a netflix movie that came to venice and it got 10 oscar nominations this year it could be the same thing as some very strong movies from netflix have gone out to cannes but again to venice and one of them is the movie laundromat starring meryl streep i think we've got some some pics of that now that folks hasn't released any trailers of this it's still under wraps here we go so this is this is all we've got this is directed by steven soderbergh about the panama papers scandal this is actually opening the festival another movie from netflix is marriage story which is a comedy drama about marital issues and stars scarlett johansson and adam driver by the wonderful director noah baumbach this promises to be another corky family portrait which is what he does best venice once again clearly benefiting from k. . no netflix policy ok now the good news is also venice has doubled the

number of female driver. to this year as opposed to one last year yeah they came under huge fire for this last year and the director of the festival said well there's not going to be a woman quota if they did and they get in this year to have got a lot of critics say the festival is biased david as always thank you for your insights we'll have of course more on the festival later in the week thank you. now brad pitt is actually going to appear briefly in this next report because here is a fine of hats made by fiona bennett here in berlin ben it is one of the people featured in our alternative tourist guide planet len it's all about entrepreneurs who come to this city from abroad and have thriving businesses here. fiona bennett never feels properly dressed without a hat she creates exquisite headgear in her.

always on the go and that fascinates me. dearly but it has been designing ladies and men's hats for life so glamorous moments since the late 1980 s. shop past in the central district studio and shop in one she displays her creations like. classical whimsical or extravagant but where will that bennetts we'll. have current collection is inspired by vintage monos. only plans christina i get there also was fiona bennett's creations so does not yet our money and hollywood star brad pitts he discovered how camp. when you visited burlington in 2008 it had to.

you know i was lucky enough that he picked out the mount them cap and then or nothing else but that for years and ordered more of them in pretty much every fabric. stuff and. the only banner was born in 1986 in brighton england the 1st years in the elegant seaside resorts have stayed with us even after she moved to berlin with her family at age 6 as a little girl fiona bennett already knew she wanted to be an artist she trained as a millionaire in 1902 she started her judio in downtown bolin and raised eyebrows with off the wall fashion performances. later she provided film productions with a hat creations and designed the costumes for the rock group ramstein is very 1st told. this by a line of a single mother my son was 2 years old when i opened my 1st shop and i didn't

really have any other choice i told myself ok i'm going to conquer the world from berlin. fiona bennett's creativity seems to be limitless working together with her partner in business and life hands you work in burma she helped to design what may well be berlin's most beautiful restrooms for the vintage garden variety theater. staying alert and curious is fundamental to the artist. my name's mark motto is to remain flexible on this if you stay flexible nothing really bad can happen to you and i think the city of berlin can teach you to stay flexible enough to supply. someday maybe she'd like to live by the sea again but until then fiona bennett intends to remain true. who then made out a. mole on all the protagonist from planet will end at the end of
