Fashion film fans rejoice! The festival that brought you Matthew Frost’s hilarious Fashion Film and Alexander Wang’s chola-licious MAD tv crossover Bon Qui Qui SP 2013 will kick off this Friday night at the School of Visual Arts.
Seeking to investigate the fashion film’s impact on the industry and its evolution as a genre, SVA’s Bon Duke and Stephen Frailey first launched NYFFF’s series of screenings and panel discussions back in 2010. Flash forward five years of films from the likes of i-D faves Glen Luchford, Cass Bird, Gosha Rubichinsky, Hedi Slimane, Harmony Korine—even a submission from Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola—and the festival is still going strong.
This year’s festival includes Kathryn Ferguson’s Change is a Beautiful Thing, i-D’s ABC’s of Fashion film, Gordon von Steiner’s films for Jil Sander and Vera Wang, and many more.
