Fabricating Identities: Costumes & Characters

Costumes transform a subject -- instantly creating a character, a personality, or a mood for the screen. The sheets of fabric, material, or in some cases sculpted masterpieces, take the shape to the character’s storyline, portraying a larger role to the picture. In today’s discussion, we will take a closer look at some exquisite examples of imaginative costumes, how they are structuring the dance landscape, and uncovering the physical and metaphorical layers they leave behind. Alongside our weekly roundtable, Jen sits down with fellow Vancouver filmmaker, Rodrigo Rocha-Campos, discussing his personal filmmaking interests and practices, while also taking a deeper look at his costume trilogy, A Full Circle.
