FASHION INSIDE OUT

In eager anticipation of London Fashion Week, we invite you to explore fashion as a discursive practice and critical theme in the company of two of the most astute observers of this glamorous and pervasive cultural phenomenon, Sanda Miller and Peter McNeil. The two authors will present their recent publication, Fashion Writing & Criticism, and will examine various discourses by which, from rococo to punk, the ever changing world of fashion has been interpreted, approximated, and reported. more

THE CRIME SEASON AT THE ROMANIAN CINEMATHEQUE OPENS WITH 'A SLOW BURN THRILLER TAKEN TO THE EXTREME'

Every cinematheque has to have a crime season. And what film would proudly open our programme better than Cristi Puiu's dark and disturbing Aurora? Aurora — that is, 'dawn' in Romanian — is the moment when night and day meet. Aurora is the film that asks overwhelmingly difficult questions, taking the viewer in the most tenebrous zones of human psyche. A mesmerizing masterwork from one of the great innovators of the art of film that anyone should see!  MORE
