Where Cinema, Fashion & Art Come Together

Be the first to get our news by signing up here.

Fashion in Film Festival looks at cinema through the lens of fashion, and the other way round. Each of our curated festival seasons is a labour of love that explores a new aspect of this intersection. We probe into images, stories, ideas, materials, makers and institutions. We research, we ask questions, we debate. We spark conversations. We collaborate. Above all, we champion the art of cinema – its power to move fashion and its power to move us.

New: Fashion in Film Festival’s Costume Conversations

Fashion in Film Festival launches a new interview series exploring the craft of costume, hair and make-up design. Introducing practitioners working across film and television internationally, the series looks closely at the creative decisions and collaborative processes shaping the visual language of film.


Read the conversation between Ellen Ystehede and Marketa Uhilrova.

Artist duo Graham Ellard and Stephen Johnstone's recently completed film Journey to the Sun (part one: They were in wait only of a miracle) drifts through a mix of found and newly made footage, pages of aspirational art magazines and above all Georges Perec's 1966 novel Things: A Story of the Sixties. Shot in 16mm, the film conjures a phantasmagorical portrait of Paris inhabited by the fictional bourgeois-bohemian couple Sylvie and Jérôme. Here street views, shop windows and precisely arranged interiors shimmer with promise and consumer longing.


Read about the film in writer Duncan White' newly commissioned essay.
