Fashion in Film Festival’s 8th edition, GROUNDED, takes cinema as a lens through which to consider the complex entanglements between fashion and nature. Spanning cinema’s history from the early 20th century up to the present moment – an era marked by escalating ecological crises – the season reveals fashion as both a barrier and a connecting tissue between humans and the natural world.
As part of the festival’s strand Uncommon Ground, is double bill, Nanook of the North & Angry Inuk + Intro.
Focusing on the interrelation between an extreme landscape and its inhabitants, this film programme examines how representations of fashion on film can facilitate the survival of both the corporeal body and intangible culture.
