"Turning movie watching into reading culture."

This is a cultural media project that uses film as a gateway to explore fashion, vintage clothing, design, history, music, architecture, society, and the connections between them.

For those who want to go beyond simply saying a film or a piece of clothing is “interesting” or “cool.”

Costumes, props, streets, cars, advertisements, and music captured on screen preserve traces of how people lived, what they valued, and how they saw the world.

Rather than looking at films alone, I draw on physical objects, books and other sources, while comparing films across different periods to uncover their wider cultural context.

The goal is  to help you leave with one new way of seeing—something that makes you notice more for yourself the next time you watch a film.

From one film to another film, book, garment, object, or place.
