A Shaded View On Fashion Film

This weekend I spent a total of 14 hours watching films dedicated to fashion. The main objective of this event was to screen short films to the topic of fashion which had been entered into a competition. The awards will be given out on the 8th in the Centre Pompidou.
Other films were also screened such as three films by Alia Raza, which each carried a deep meaning as they reflected on compulsions and mental sicknesses, which also related to social stigmas such as an actrice obsessing over her beauty (i.e. 28 minute film of Chloe Sevigny obessively washing her face in a long procedure of different cosmetic products, and never reaching satisfaction with the visual result).
The three films screened were part of a longer series.

Another section of dedicated to music videos. There was a wonderful retrospective on Roisin Murphy, and other music videos were screened. Here there are:


More video posts to follow.

And lets not foget the fabulous retrospective on Chicks on Speed. They are truely fabulous!
