Film buffs and fashion fanatics annually unite at the Fashion in Film Festival, a London-based event originally arising from a Central Saint Martins research project in 2006. The collision of style and celluloid is now cranked up to the max, as 2017 marks the tenth anniversary of the event. With a theme of Wearing Time: Past, Present, Future, Dream, the program — curated by Tom Gunning and Marketa Uhlirova — will encompass all manner of moving-image gems, screened throughout central and East London venues during March.
From experimental shorts, documentaries, artist films, newsreels, features, and fashion films, expect to see works by Nick Knight, artists Jane and Louise Wilson (who respond to Stanley Kubrick's unmade film The Aryan Papers), Richard Massingham, John Maybury, and Alain Resnais, among many others. An array of related talks, panel discussions, and an exhibition further enhances the proceedings.
Here, Fashion in Film co-curator Marketa Uhlirova talks i-D through her five favorite films from this year's festival.
