    Losing the Thread

    Vivian OSTROVSKY 2014 USA Experimental b/w & color 8min English, French, Ita DCP
    Starting out with super 8 reels of Paris catwalks I shot in 1979/1980, what was supposed to be an experimental short on couture culture turned into a study of style. Deleuze's definition of style, "creating a foreign language in one's own language," was the catalyst, inducing me to loosen the initial threads of fashion and to search for other textures. Stitched together, these intertwined images of Coco CHANEL, COURRÈGES, Cole PORTER, and Kaiser KARL, speak of style, films, fashion and fun.

    Born in Manhattan, New York, OSTROVSKY spent her childhood in Brazil. She then went to Paris to study psychology and cinema studies. In the early 70s, she travelled throughout Europe, organizing women's film festivals and distributing films made by women. Her debut experimental film Carolyn 2 came in 1980, and many films came afterwards, which have been shown in festivals worldwide, art fairs and museums.
