25apr11:00 AMFrom Page To Screen: Barbarella (1968) (15)Bridport's Film Festival

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.
