People Have Started Arriving at the Venice Film Festival

I get why Brad Pitt is at a film festival -- I assume he has a film to fete! -- but it's interesting to see that now models are ALSO showing up at this one. Is Venice the new Cannes? Or are models -- like the rest of us! -- simply excited to go to an event that requires glamorously arriving everywhere by boat?
