After beginning her career on the movie sets of Bernardo Bertolucci and Anthony Minghella, Italian film distributor and Good Films founder Ginevra Elkann made her name by introducing Nymphomaniac, Still Alice and Dallas Buyers Club to her native country. 

Known for her cloud of dark curls, understated style, and entrepreneurial acumen (unsurprising given that she is a member of Italy’s storied Agnelli dynasty), today Elkann launches A Woman’s Work. Directed by Barbara Anastacio, the new NOWNESS series showcases a new, subtler type of modern trailblazer – one that prefers a quieter approach to influencing global culture.

As a co-founder of Asmara Films, Elkann’s support of independent cinema includes Iranian drama Frontier Blues, and White Shadow, a story about witch doctors and Tanzanian albinos. The producer, who is also president of La Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli, the Turin-based family art foundation, resides in Rome with her husband, Giovanni Gaetani dell’Aquila d’Aragona, and their three children.
