Event Details
Bridport’s definitive film festival celebrating the art of literary adaptation.
This year’s guest curator will be Screenwriter and Director, Rebecca Lenkiewicz.
Jane Fonda created a genuine icon when she leapt out of her spaceship as intergalactic government agent Barbarella, a wide eyed innocent on the trail of rogue scientist Durand Durand (Milo O’Shea). It’s 40,000 AD on kitsch planet Sorgo, and a host of characters featuring David Hemmings, Anita Pallenberg and mime legend Marcel Marceau help and hinder our heroine in her ‘investigation’. It took 9 writers to concoct the skimpy plot, propelling her into a succession of ever skimpier outfits – but what outfits! Costume designers Jacques Fonteray and Paco Rabanne, Production Designer Mario Garbuglia and Director of Photography Claude Renoir created a wildly imaginative future world, with sparkling dialogue from Terry Southern and a soundtrack spanning everything from lounge grooves to psychedelic rock.
Following this screening join Production Designer and The Future We Make exhibition curator, Caroline Greville-Morris, for a tour of the exhibition in the Allsop Gallery.
