Elisa Sednaoui is a model, actress, and director of Italian, French and Egyptian descent. She has appeared in such films as Eastern Drift, La Bate Du Renard, Bus Palladium, and Remember Now, as well as in fashion campaigns for Chanel Eyewear, Giorgio Armani and Roberto Cavalli.
Sednaoui’s first feature film, Eastern Drift was released in Paris in December 2010. She played the lead female role of “Gabriella‟, alongside Bartas. The film was shown at La Berlinale 2010 section “The International Forum of New Cinema.” In La Baie du Renard, a short film selected to close Critics Week (Semaine de la Critique) at Cannes Film Festival 2009, Sednaoui starred alongside Pierre Torreton. She was recently seen on French screens in Christopher Thompson's first feature film Bus Palladium, co-starring with Marc André Grondin and Arthur Dupont. Sednaoui also starred opposite French actor Pascal Greggory in Karl Lagerfeld’s short film Remember Now, the introduction to the 2010 Chanel Cruise Collection.
Sednaoui has also appeared in Love Lasts Three Years, released by Europa in January 2012, and The Legend of Kaspar Hauser, a surrealistic adaptation of the 19th century Teutonic foundling story transposed to Sardinia. Sednaoui co-directed with Martina Gili the documentary Kullu Taman (Everything is Good). The film showcases Egyptians not covered by mainstream media by telling the stories of characters who, despite their differences of age and belief, share the sudden discovery of what is usually referred to as “freedom of expression.” The film depicts the countryside of Luxor.
