Fashion on Film will offer a unique look at the evolution of fashion – from the house of Balmain, to the streets of Naples and the trends of the ’90s. The season will kick off in February with the Australian premiere of And Then There is Naples, which follows a Neapolitan trouser maker Salvatore Ambrosi as he guides audiences through the city and meets other local designers. To complement the premiere, ACMI film programmer James Nolen will host a two-hour walking tour of Melbourne that uncovers many of the products featured in the documentary.
The season will also feature the Australian premiere of Fashion in the 1990s, The Balmain Style, Pop Models and Dressed up for Summer 2015. The documentaries will also be complemented by a number of short films from the VAMFF Film 2015 competition.
