Grounded Film Festival comes to the GMC!

The Grounded Fashion In Film Festival comes to the Garnethill Multicultural Centre

From the 21st of September to the 18th of October, the Grounded Film Festival is showing all around Scotland at such prestigious venues as V&A Dundee, Eden Court Inverness, the Glasgow Film Theatre and will finish off here at the Garnethill Multicultural Centre!

“Fashion in Film Festival’s 8th edition, GROUNDED, takes cinema as a lens through which to consider the complex entanglements between fashion and nature. Spanning cinema’s history from the early 20th century up to the present moment – an era marked by escalating ecological crises – the season reveals fashion as both a barrier and a connecting tissue between humans and the natural world. In the Western psyche, humanity and nature are often perceived as distinct entities, with phenomena such as landscapes, oceans, flora, and fauna frequently regarded as passive resources, picturesque mise-en-scenes or, worse, dumping grounds for human activity. Pulling at the threads of conflicting and overlapping viewpoints, GROUNDED seeks to illuminate and renegotiate such an anthropocentric worldview.”

The film showing at the GMC is The Nettle Dress which will be screened on the 18th October at 19:00

“Textile artist Allan Brown reminds us that a return to slow methods of production and reconnection to nature can be healing for both the planet and humans alike”

Hope to see you there!
