Resistance, Connection, Enclosure: John Maybury in the 1980s + Q&A

A Fashion in Film Festival screening of John Maybury's 1980s Super 8 and video works, exploring style and self-fashioning as post-punk queer resistance, followed by a Q&A.

This Fashion in Film Festival 2026 event presents John Maybury's films from the 1980s, guest-curated by Juan Antonio Suárez. Combining Super 8 and video, original and found images, and intricate editing and layering, the works revolve around style and self-fashioning as means of expression and resistance, standing as testimonies of 1980s post-punk queer defiance. The screening is followed by a Q&A and forms part of the festival's 20th anniversary programme, The Party and the Guests.
