CineCulture

Everything we need to see

CineCulture is a new exposure to cinema for Polimoda students. Fostering cross-cultural and multidisciplinary curiosity and creativity, it provides new perspectives which contribute to students’ overall cultural knowledge before being transformed into their work in fashion.

The theme for this program is the body; the tangible, physical manifestation of our self. Through the body, we forge our sense of identity, agency and place in the universe. It is something that we can read and interpret like a text, a supporting system for signs, cultural markers, clothing or gestures. It is a powerful narrative device, a canvas upon which a filmmaker inscribes complex social, political and cultural messages, therefore becoming part of a film’s text.
