>> Last night Tanner Hall, the first film written and directed by Tatiana von Furstenberg (daughter of Diane) with her best friend, Francesca Gregorini, had its New York premiere as part of the Gen Art Film Festival. The movie, which follows a coming-of-age story of four friends at an all-girl New England prep school, features school uniforms designed by Diane von Furstenberg and stars Rooney Mara, Brie Larson, Amy Ferguson, Amy Sedaris, Tom Everett Scott, Chris Kattan and Georgia King.

The premiere came fresh off the news yesterday that the film was acquired and will be released in the United States in the late Summer; it will also be shopped for international distribution at the Cannes Film Festival next month. After the premiere, Diane tweeted, "I am proud of Tatiana and Francesca .. Movie played very well.. Cannot wait for the movie to open to the public!"

We idolize Diane von Furstenberg, so when I heard her daughter Tatiana dipped into the world of directing, I was intrigued.

Tatiana and co-director/writer Francesca Gregorini will show Tanner Hall at Gen Art's upcoming New York Film festival. And DVF has a sort-of cameo — she designed the costumes for the film. The film is a vivid peek into the private world of an all‐girls boarding school; coming‐of‐age stories of four teenage girls. Meanwhile, the adults in their world struggle with the equally challenging hurdles of middle age.

Tatiana and Francesca’s vision was "to create a timeless piece not bound to any decade in particular." Thus, the music, costumes, furniture, hairstyles, and cars were purposefully taken from different decades "to create a world suspended in time, infused with fantasy but grounded in reality." I'm a sucker for teenage coming-of-age movies, this one sounds intriguing indeed.
