Our festival is touring GLASGOW this weekend 3-5 Oct with a film season exploring the entanglements between fashion, textiles and nature. Please help us spread the word locally. We'll be at GLASGOW FILM THEATRE.
Our screenings:
FRI 3 OCT 8.45PM: Jodie Mack's THE GRAND BIZARRE (2018) is an extraordinary collage fashioned from some 85,000 frames captured across six continents. In the film Mack unfolds a unique cosmology centred on textiles as entities that are alert to the ceaseless motion of their surroundings. The artist will be introducing this (online). A must-see for anyone who appreciates the shared material qualities of textiles and cinema. https://lnkd.in/egiQ6Rc7
SAT 4 OCT 11.30am: NATURE'S RESOURCES: a programme of six vintage and contemporary animations made between 1928 and 2024 exploring the delicate relationship between humans, fashion and nature. Together, the films help children discover where fabric comes from and how nature provides sometimes surprising forms of disguise and transformation. https://lnkd.in/eBJQNHDN Suitable for ages 2–10 (although older children and adults interested in animation have also found this programme delightful).
SAT 4 OCTOBER 6pm: WE ARE ALL CHIMERAS screening + talk by guest curator MARGARITA LOUCA: This fascinating programme of contemporary moving image shorts explores how digital culture fashions new mythologies in which folklore is rewritten in code, animation and avatars. These works critique ways in which technology is embedded in structures of power and ideology, showing bodies and voices as unstable and endlessly mutable, duplicated, networked and surveilled. Together, these works reclaim such new forms of hybridity for storytelling, sovereignty, and survival: they are vital acts of creative resistance in this moment of algorithmic homogenisation.

SUN 5 OCTOBER 4PM: a powerful Japanese documentary DUST TO DUST (2024) - SCOTTISH PREMIERE: How can haute couture help solve the ecological harm caused by ready-to-wear's ferocious pace? We are pleased to present the first Scottish screening of Dust to Dust by director Kôsai Sekine. In it we follow Tokyo-based designer Yuima Nakazato meandering through Nairobi’s Gikomba Market, the world’s largest hub for discarded clothes: "Knowing that anything I say is going to be completely useless… is kind of a new experience for me. Now I know what it feels like to be truly lost for words," he says. The documentary trails the development of a new non-woven material made using two 50-kilogram bundles of clothing procured from Kenya. Nakazato’s ethereal garments presented a year later in Paris offer a reimagining of the fashion world at its creative and conscious best. https://lnkd.in/efu4yukn
