BA (Hons) Fashion Media Part Time student Gsus Lopez has just won the prestigious Grand Prix Award for Best Film at ASVOFF in Barcelona. His film, Ephemeral Nature, has won the top award at the event that was held at the end of January. When asked about his win, Gsus said:

I thought it was amazing to have been selected by Diane Pernet under the Official Selection category. It feels great to have such good recognition when you’ve worked so hard for so long and with so many limitations, mainly economic, it pays off more than you could imagine.

ASVOFF (A shaded View of Fashion and Film Festival) was launched in 2008 by Diane Pernet, a world-renowned fashion critic and video journalist based in Paris. Since its launch, ASVOFF has been instrumental in promoting a new creative genre, the ‘fashion film’, by providing a platform for the work of filmmakers who explore the themes of fashion, through the medium of the moving image.

Fashion, styling, photography, film, music and dance were brought together for this spectacular fashion-in-motion performance inspired by the current Barbican Art Gallery exhibition Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion and the diversity of East London.

Disruption was the culmination of a three-month project which showcased bespoke designs created by a group of 50 young people from East London, working alongside professionals from the Barbican Centre, London College of Fashion and Guildhall School of Music & Drama as part of the LCF Widening Participation programme.

With thanks to Caroline Stevenson (project manager on behalf of LCF), Tony Charalambous (creative director on behalf of the Barbican), Winston Rose, Chloe Scrivener, James Hamilton Butler (LCF Course tutors) and Gavin Fernandes – a course tutor on FdA Fashion Styling and Photography – for photography.

Backstage on 'Hollywood in Colour: Racial Ambiguity in Classic Hollywood' by Suzanne Neita.

I am an MA Fashion and Film student. My background is in special effects make-up (film and television).

My final major project is called ‘Hollywood in Colour: Racial Ambiguity in Classic Hollywood’, researching depictions of mixed-race women in 1930s, 1940s and 1950s Hollywood films.

As part of my final major project I am planning to curate an exhibition with John Kisch a photographer based in New York who has the only collection of black cast film posters/memorabilia dating back to the early 1900s.
