Marcel L’Herbier: Fabricating Dreams is the first in-depth exploration of the role of fashion and design in the cinema of one of France’s most influential filmmakers. The programme will explore L’Herbier’s cinematic poetics, his reliance on style, fashion and design. An innovative figure in French cinema during the 1920s-1940s, L’Herbier was unique in that he straddled the realms of mainstream commercial and avant-garde cinema, generating a vibrant artistic milieu around him.
