The UK premiere of the documentary 'Dust to Dust' by Kōsai Sekine, featured in the Dust to Dust Fashion in Film Festival, highlights the staggering issue of textile waste from fast fashion. It showcases designer Yuima Nakazato's efforts to repurpose this waste into couture fashion. Curators Dal Chodha and Marketa Uhlirova aim to provoke reflection on fashion's environmental impact, challenging the viewer to rethink their relationship with clothing amid an ongoing ecological crisis. The festival creates a platform for exploring complex themes, featuring a variety of film formats that address these urgent issues.
The festival asks an urgent question about fashion's impact on the environment: what does it mean to dress while the planet burns? This focus on entanglement calls for a deeper reflection.
Curators emphasize moving away from the binary perspective of humans versus nature, highlighting our connections to fashion and promoting a more nuanced understanding of sustainability.
