This discussion and screening accompanies the group exhibition Witnessing the Wilderness at Wimbledon Space and interrogates our preconceptions of the wilderness, and the role of the artist as adventurer, witness and mediator. Wilderness is both physical topography and a social and cultural construct, promising an untrammeled refuge or a stage for physical challenge and heroic endeavour. Meanwhile, the growth of technologies brings wild places into clear view, allowing them to be witnessed remotely or experienced through mass tourism, producing a complex and evolving definition. The event will include film screenings by artists who are part of the exhibition.
This is a Wimbledon Space event in association with CCW Graduate School Public Research Platforms.
The Fashion in Film Festival returns in May 2013 with its fourth edition, Marcel L’Herbier: Fabricating Dreams. The season is dedicated to one of France’s most innovative but overlooked directors and features his film from both the silent and sound eras. A unique showcase of L’Herbier’s vision, the programme highlights exquisite fashions, modernist architecture and design, against the backdrop of the glamorous locations of the Côte d’Azur and Paris.
Friday 10 – Sunday 19 May 2013
At BFI Southbank, Barbican, The Horse Hospital, Ciné Lumière and Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design.
The programme will be the first time that some of L’Herbier’s most significant feature films and shorts have been gathered together into a coherent showcase in the UK. It was L’Herbier’s cross-disciplinary collaborative approach that helped establish him as a seminal figure within Paris’ vibrant artistic milieu of the inter-war years.
The Festival programme uses fashion and design as the prism through which to examine L’Herbier’s diverse body of work. As illustrated by some of his most remarkable films such as L’Argent (1928), L’Inhumaine (1923) and L’Epervier (1933), the director had a keen interest in fashion and style, an interest that culminated in his short La Mode revée (1938), a ‘fashion film’ dedicated to promoting the major French couturiers at the 1939 World Fair in New York.

We are pleased to announce the seventh meeting of Afterall Film Club on Thursday 18 April 2013. Stuart Brisley will introduce a film of his choice, which will be discussed following its full screening.
Stuart Brisley is best known for his influence on the development of performance art but also works in painting, sculpture, community projects, ‘pseudo-curatorial installations’, sound and moving image. Uniting all these working methods is a concern for the everyday, for things that have fallen down (detritus on the streets, human excrement) and the marginalised (miners, bin men, homeless people). ‘All work,’ Brisley comments, ‘needs content. Without content there is no work.’ Brisley lives and works in London, Dungeness and Istanbul.
Date: Thursday, April 18 2013
Time: 6.30pm – 9pm
Location: Lecture Theatre E002, Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, 1 Granary Square, London, N1C 4AA

The Artefact & Curation Research Hub and TrAIN Research Centre present:
Hollywood Chinese (Dir. Arthur Dong, 2007)
a Film Screening and Discussion with Professor Li,
Fulbright Distinguished Chair, University of Arts London (2013)
Date: Wednesday 1st May 2013
Time: 17:30 – 19:30; followed by drinks on the Terrace
Location: Rootstein Hopkins East Space, London College of Fashion, 20 John Prince’s Street, London W1G 0BJ
Combining historical footage with interviews of directors and actors, both Chinese and non-Chinese, Arthur Dong’s award-winning 2007 documentary offers a rare historical overview of the Chinese in the Hollywood dream machine. We shall watch the film and then open up a discussion, centered on but not limited to the following; “ethnicity and visibility”; “minority, majority, and mediated democracy”; “representation, political and asethetic”; “representation as identification and regulation”; “representation between race, gender, and nation”. Underpinning these different aspects of the documentary is a question specific to the film and its US context. Instead of the common sense question perennially posited to a Chinese American, “which part of you is Chinese and which part is American?”, we will attempt a question of uncommon sense, “How does the Chinese define the American subject?”.
Professor of English and the Collins Professor of the Humanities at the University of Oregon, USA, David Leiwei Li is Fulbright Distinguished Professor Chair at the University of Arts London (2013), completing his ongoing monograph, Globalization on Speed: Economy, Emotion, and Ethics in Contemporary Chinese Cinema. He is the author of Imaging the Nation: Asian American Literature and Cultural Consent (Stanford UP 1998), the editor of Globalization & the Humanities (HK UP, 2004), and Asian American Literature, a 2240 page collection of criticism (Routledge, 2012).

This year’s Green Week gives LCF staff and students the opportunity to explore the ways in which we can use fashion as a discipline, to drive change, build a sustainable future and improve the way we live.
Thursday 7 March
MENDRS Mending Workshop
Lime Grove, B103
14:00 – 17:00
MENDRS explores how mending can be made fundamental to fashion in a nationwide lecture tour of UK fashion colleges, hitting LCF’s Green Week on Thursday 7 March. Mending clothes is the tip of an iceberg. We argue that mending is a strategy that helps us rethink what fashion can and needs to do today. Mending transforms the paradigm of transience in fashion. It challenges the very nature of the fashion industry where the purpose of design and marketing is to fuel our desires for new stuff. Mending is about keeping clothes stylish, wearable and desirable, and valuing the labour and resources that go into them.
LCF’s Centre for Sustainable Fashion introduces MENDRS founder Jonnet Middleton and Liz Parker at a one-off workshop for all UAL staff and students:
