Film Magic

Amazing things happen in Venice when you least expect it. A few nights ago I was reading in the kitchen of my apartment, when I spied a man on a ladder standing at eye level with the window. He was stringing lanterns around the street.

So I asked him what he was doing. He explained that he was a gaffer for a British film company working on the film Brideshead Revisited which was filming right outside my apartment window. The images of people in Renaissance Carnival costume were beautiful and the reflections of the lanterns on the water were magical. The photos included here were taken by fellow NYU student Julie Phillips.
