The veteran producer’s presence added fuel to recent reports that she is attempting to secure Qatari finance for ex-James Bond actor Daniel Craig’s big screen passion project Othello, with well-placed sources hinting on Monday night that talks were ongoing. Broccoli – who is co-head of James Bond producer Eon Productions with Michael G. Wilson – has reportedly been working with Craig for some time on the project, billed as a modern adaptation of the Shakespearean classic set in American army barracks in Iraq. The dinner also hosted the films teams for DFI-backed Venice titles including Tunisian director Mehdi Barsaoui’s Aïcha and Palestinian filmmaker Scandar Copti’s Happy Holidays in the festival’s Horizons line-up, and Sudan, Remember Us by Hind Meddeb in Giornate degli Autori.
