Curated Films

Fashion & Fantasy | Part 10

This month’s curated film selection by Niccolò Montanari is a celebration of horror, dread and terror, an international range of films delving into the supernatural. From fashion films and campaigns to music videos and independent video art productions, the directors behind the films explore life, death and the unknown from several perspectives.

We start off with a more humorous and playful approach, with the works of Cyriak, Pablo Maestres, Justin Anderson, Julien Vray and Emir Eralp. We then continue by appreciating the beauty of a more somber aesthetic with Jamie Brunskill, Cyprien Clément-Delmas, That Jam and Arice, before ending on a darker and rawer note with Ralf Schmerberg.
