VENICE FILM FESTIVAL + SUSANA MOTA
Talent
The feature film Ish has been officially selected at The Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week. It’s the directorial debut of Imran Perretta and features hair and makeup design by Susana Mota.
Ish follows two best friends who face the end of childhood when racial profiling and a traumatic police stop-and-search tear them apart. It teaches Ish about letting go in a society where brown boys are constantly watched.
Big congratulations to all involved.
