From the very beginnings of cinema, art and design have shaped what we see – either directly as subject matter or, less obviously, as part of the magic of production. Whether you consider cinema to be the synthesis of all the arts or, like Bresson in the Thirties, as an uncomfortable amalgam of theatre, the novel and painting, it is undeniable that the cross-fertilisation of film and artistic practice can result in dazzling collaborations. This short season aims to showcase films that articulate the way fashion, art and design can be transformed when woven into the language of cinema. This season is organised to coincide with the publication of a new bfi catalogue, Art and Design: A Source Book, which imaginatively details over 1500 relevant titles from the bfi's film collections, enabling programmers, teachers and researchers to explore the dialogues between film on the one hand, and art, architecture and fashion on the other. The following programme, centred around Cocteau's seminal Orphée, newly re-released by the bfi, is highly eclectic, providing just a taste of what the bfi's extensive holdings have to offer. There is related symposium: By Design: Film Fashion Art Architecture Programmed by the British Film Institute in association with Tate
