With the famous words “LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION” a director on a movie set films the action taking place. This year Stage North Theatre Society in Fort St. John takes the commands “CUT” and “IT’S A WRAP” to a new level. Stage North is challenging fashion designers and artists to cut and create fashions and art forms by reusing commercial movie film (that stuff that runs through the projector at the theatre...you know).
The Fashion and Form with Film is a unique competition to design wearable fashions or artworks by using commercial movie film as the “fabric”. Over $1000 in prizes are available when an esteemed panel of judges make their selections in front of a public audience at On The Rocks Nightclub.
The Fashion and Form with Film Showcase and Exhibition takes place March 4, 2012 as part of Oscar Night on the Big Screen, a popular Stage North annual event. This year’s event will be held at On The Rocks Nightclub.
This competition is a first for Stage North Theatre Society, who is partnering with the Northern Action Environmental Team (NEAT) and the Community Arts Council of Fort St. John. NEAT invites participants to rethink/recreate/rejuvenate by taking old movie film and making something interesting and wearable. The Community Arts Council is focused on creative art forms and Stage North combines stage productions and acting with celebrating the stars on the very special night of
the Oscar’s Academy Awards.
Registration opens September 1, 2011 online at www.stagenorth.ca or at the North Peace Cultural Centre box office. Each entry fee is $25. A never-ending supply of free movie film is available to each registrant and 75% of each design must consist of movie film. The other 25% can be of any other material that works for the creation of the form.
Registration deadline for the Fashion and Form with Film is February 6, 2012. All entries are to be delivered or mailed in by February 29. Insurance coverage and postage are the responsibility of the creator.
