Fashion Film
The New Wave
Screening at DCTV on November 9th & Tribeca Film Center on November 10th
In recent years, fashion film has gravitated toward the conceptual, eventually evolving into an art form in its own right. VAEFF has recognized the phenomenon of this new wave of fashion film and has included the genre in its selections for several years now.
This year, VAEFF is excited to present its newest program: Fashion Film – The New Wave, put together by guest curator Niccolo Montanari, one of fashion film’s most prominent curators.
Curator’s Statement
The following program is meant to give an overview of outstanding fashion film content. Though what comes under this term is yet to be agreed on, this is precisely the strength of this genre and what makes it particularly interesting. Fashion, film, music and dance come together to give rise to highly creative video content to be enjoyed regardless of its affiliation to a specific brand. This is my personal pick from the past five years in what I see as a visual journey across the world of fashion film. – Niccolo Montanari
