Fashion in Film Festival 2025 presents GROUNDED, a major UK-wide season exploring the relationship between fashion and nature through the lens of cinema. 

Spanning the late 19th century to present day, the programme examines fashion’s role as simultaneously a barrier and a connecting tissue between humans and the natural world  offering a decentred perspective on themes such as production, disposal, hybridity, migration, social justice, and environmental harm. GROUNDED presents diverse narratives addressing ecological and geopolitical concerns while exploring imaginative spaces of poetry, comedy, beauty, joy, horror, and transgression.  

The programme is co-curated by Marketa Uhlirova and Dal Chodha, with guest curators. It is possible with the support of the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery. Fashion in Film Festival is based at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
