The screening is presented by Director Fits as part of a series on Fashion and Film. The program will screen Gregg Araki’s 1997 film ‘Nowhere,’ which runs for 1 hour and 22 minutes and is rated R.
‘Nowhere’ is an art-pop odyssey by director Gregg Araki that oozes with sexuality, style, and subversion, and it forms part of his Teen Apocalypse Trilogy.
Director Fits is a media platform focusing on the everyday sartorial decisions of filmmakers. It describes directors as an often overlooked group of impeccably well-dressed artists making bold choices about clothing, and focuses on their personal style, the practical garments they wear while working, their buttoned-up red-carpet looks, and much more. The platform also examines the thought process behind a director’s view of clothing and how it affects them, as well as their films.
The Criterion Collection describes ‘Nowhere’ as an anarchic orgy combining “bisexual lust, vaporizing Valley girls, sinister televangelists, nipple-ring S&M, murder by Campbell’s-soup can,” which Araki folds together into an explosively caustic close to his Teen Apocalypse Trilogy.
