At the end of September, the film festival "A Shaded View on Fashion Film" attracted sell-out audiences for the second year in a row. The Parisian festival, which is organised by the icon fashion expert and diva Diane Pernet, focuses on the expression that is born in the meeting between fashion, art and film. CPH:DOX will - using "A Shaded View of Fashion Films" as its starting point - show a selection of works, whose living images add a new dimension to an industry that is otherwise primarily defined by the constant presence of the still image and the slinky ballet dance of the catwalk. But the fashion industry has always been linked to other art forms, both in its obligatory celebrity-worship and in its artistic expression. The evening's film programme therefore includes both documentary "eye candy" and avant-garde art films, which Pernet herself has divided into two sub-categories: "Reflections" and "Communication". In "Reflections", we will show films that are made independently of designers and fashion brands. Here you can among other things experience Steven Klein's "Fiction Noir", a modern adaptation of the 1940s femme fatale, given a cinematic lease of life by Lara Stone, and Erik Liss's lavish "La grande bouffe", where beauty and food unite to create a decadent ballet. "Communication", on the other hand, covers films that are made using a designer's wish to convey his or her vision as a starting point. Here, we will among other things show Frederik Jacobi's "White Crane", which seduces the spectator to the freaky universe of Moonspoon Saloons, and the music video genius Chris Cunningham's "Flora by Gucci".
