Ayse Top| representing Mandisoul Filmproductions during Venice Filmfestival

The Venice Film Festival was truly magical. Italy steals my heart every time I'm there.

My connection to Italy goes back to my first international fashion show in Milan, for none other than Michael Lombard , they don't call him the new Gucci for nothing.

Now, to be able to return, but this time as an actress on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival, among Hollywood stars, feels like a dream come true.

The entire experience was pure luxury and inspiration. From the stylish water taxi that took me to the interview with the Italian TV channel TV LIFE, with the most beautiful view of the water, to my arrival at the iconic Hotel Excelsior for a pre-red carpet photoshoot. My dress, specially designed by Waletty Design from Monaco, completed the picture perfectly.

The festival exudes a love for film, style, and culture. And to be a part of it as an actress touches me deeply. I feel grateful and incredibly motivated for everything that's yet to come. "It was truly an unforgettable experience.

Walking the red carpet in Venice, surrounded by international stars and filmmakers I've admired for years, it felt like everything I'd worked so hard for came together in that one moment. Of course, it was exciting; you feel that mix of adrenaline, pride, and a bit of nerves, but it also felt very natural, like I was exactly where I was meant to be.

I'm incredibly grateful to have been able to experience this as part of the Mandisoul Productions film. It's special to step onto such an international stage as an actress with a new project. The festival exudes cinema, and being there among such big names confirmed for me that stories, no matter where they come from, are universally relevant. It motivates me immensely to give even more of myself to my craft."

The Venice Film Festival was not only a visual and cultural spectacle, but also a unique opportunity to network at the highest level.

As an actress for 3 Days in Africa, a project I'm incredibly proud of, I felt there was genuine interest in our story and the message the film wants to convey.

During the festival, I had wonderful conversations with international directors, producers, and fellow actors people who were genuinely curious about my background and the Mandisoul Filmproductions project.

was an open and creative atmosphere, where ideas spontaneously emerged, and future collaborations were even being discussed. The beauty is: you all share the same passion for telling stories that touch people. And when you can do that while overlooking the water of Venice, in such a unique setting, it feels like pure magic.
