16mm shorts presented by The Secret Cinema

1930s – 1970s – approx 2 hr

The Secret Cinema will join us for the first time ever for a special night of fashion-centric short films all presented on 16mm! Featuring a variety of shorts from the 1930s – 1970s, this program provides a special behind the scenes look at iconic costume designer Edith Head, the short skirts of the swingin’ sixties, and even a tutorial on how to undress for your husband!

Featured films in the program include THE COSTUME DESIGNER (1950), FIGURE FORUM (1954), HOW TO UNDRESS IN FRONT OF YOUR HUSBAND (1937), HEAVENLY BODY (1975) and more!

This screening is part of our yearlong Fashion in Film series, where we delve into cinema’s greatest style hits and explore how clothing and fashion can be woven together to propel a film’s story. Not only will we highlight the work of iconic designers like Edith Head and Coco Chanel, but we will also exhibit films where the costumes are given a starring role.
