10/3/15 review of Tiel Lundy's Fashion in Film seminar at Denver Film Society

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a seminar University of Colorado professor Tiel Lundy did on Fashion in Film in 2015.

For some reason, I addressed this entire thread to Lundy.

The thread discusses Lundy's idea that fashion is a means of both oppression and expression. It discusses how Lundy explores the changing fashions of characters in single films. I discuss some of Marshall McLuhan's ideas on fashion. I also mention some films where fashion plays a role in the development of a nerdy character into a cool character. I discuss some other films I like where fashion plays a role, as well as ideas around the film fashions of Edith Head.

I saw this seminar at the Denver Film Society's Sie FilmCenter in Denver, Colorado.

6/25/15 review of Tiel Lundy lecture on Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers series

Here is my Twitter thread review of a lecture done on Busby Berkeley's Gold Diggers series of films at the Denver Film Society.

Over the past few years, University of Colorado film professor Tiel Lundy has visited Denver Film Society to give fun lectures on a number of subjects, most often linked to issues about fashion or sexuality, and the changing contexts of fashion and sexuality, in film. This Twitter thread discusses some of those aspects in the Busby Berkeley Gold Diggers series.

Here is the trailer for Gold Diggers of 1933.

Here is the trailer for Gold Diggers of 1935.

Here is the trailer for Gold Diggers of 1937.

As I mentioned, I saw this lecture at Denver Film Society, a great movie house in Denver, Colorado.
