FEATURE LENGTH: The annual fashion film festival A Shaded View on Fashion Film has announced the jury and program of its 14th edition, which is able to run Nov. 10 to 13 at 3537, the Dover Street Market Paris-operated cultural center.

Its four-day program includes the presentation of the 43 fashion movies participating on this yr’s official competition in addition to screenings of documentary movies, themed curations showcasing a further 60 movies, panel discussions and performances.

Eighteen prizes shall be awarded this yr, including the grand prize, and five prizes shall be given to one of the best movies in thematic curations that include digital fashion, Black representation in cinema and conscious creation.

Recent this yr are gongs for the manga and anime genres, Chinese movies and TikTok’s snappy format. Still images may even be highlighted through an award given in collaboration with the Japan-based Anime Art Academy.

A public prize shall be awarded at a later date, after voting has been accomplished through a partnership with FNL Network, a fashion news and lifestyle network distributed through digital TV services.

This yr’s trophies were designed and hand-crafted by Recent York-based artist, photographer and jewellery designer Miguel Villalobos.  

To find out the winners, 2022 jury president Caroline de Maigret and president of honor Jean-Charles de Castelbajac can count on a jury that features Andrew Taylor Parr, visual image director for Comme des Garçons; London-based designer and musician Pam Hogg; influencer Hanan Besovic, known on Instagram as @ideservecouture, and musical artist Jay-Jay Johanson, amongst others.

One highlight of this yr’s program shall be the Nov. 12 tribute to de Castelbajac, which is able to include the screening of a 3D animated film centered on his virtual fashion designs with Lego, in addition to a masterclass where the veteran designer will explain his creative process.

This edition marks “a giant step forward,” in response to founder Diane Pernet, who sees ASVOFF as evolving right into a “fully fledged cultural festival — albeit one which continues to focus not only on the ways we adorn our bodies and express ourselves through the moving image but additionally the intersection of the 2.”

The festival’s latest tag line of “Fashion, Culture, Film” is reflected in the broader range of topics of documentaries, starting with the screening of “Boom For Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean Michel Basquiat,” by independent American filmmaker Sara Driver, opening the festival on Nov. 10.

A Bruce Weber-directed feature on Paolo di Paolo, a Cinecittà photographer who walked away from photography on the dawn of celebrity culture and kept his work under wraps until it was rediscovered by his daughter, will kick off the festival’s closing awards ceremony on Nov. 13.

Two feature movies may even be shown. They’re “After Louie,” a drama on modern gay life and the community’s history by Vincent Gagliostro, a filmmaker and activist who’s an original member of political AIDS activist group Act Up, and “Lost Record,” a sci-fi rock-‘n’-roll essay fantasy film by Ian F. Svenonius and Alexandra Cabral on the connection between people and inanimate objects.

In between projections, guests will have the ability to absorb exhibitions by Recent York-based French visual artist Marievic on fetishized cultures of consumption, and by Oscar- and BAFTA-winning costume designer Tim Yip about his “Love Infinity” film series.

Calling culture each an anchor and “essentially the most precious, awe-inspiring, and sometimes alarming context we’ve,” Pernet explained that widening the festival’s programming to incorporate movies on a broad range of topics participated in the concept that “every thing is fashion,” as 2015 jury president Jean-Paul Gaultier once said.
