Fashion in Film Festival

Fashion in Film Festival is a non-profit arts organisation celebrating the intersections between fashion, cinema and the screen arts. Based at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, we spark new perspectives and foster dialogue involving filmmakers, designers, artists and researchers. Through collaborations spanning leading venues such as the Barbican Centre, Tate Modern, Somerset House, Glasgow Film Theatre, Museum of the Moving Image and Yale University, we have curated film seasons, installations and events while producing publications and fostering scholarly debate.

Our work has been featured in The New Yorker, Vogue, Dazed & Confused, Fashion Theory, El País, Sight & Sound, Purple Diary, AnoOther, The Guardian, The Village Voice, The New York Times, and Women’s Wear Daily, among others.

Join us to explore ideas, images, and stories that challenge and expand the boundaries of both fashion and cinema!
