16 Issue 78 / 2015 FILM guestlist.net Rooftops, hot tubs, Somerset House, all great places to catch a film, and now the British Museum is getting in on the act with their Summer Love weekend, in partnership with the BFI. You can enjoy sunset screenings of three classic films – A Room With A View, Badlands and The Princess Bride on 27th, 28th and 29th August respectively – in an equally classic location. These al fresco screenings will launch the BFI's next major national project, Love, which will celebrate the most enduring love stories on film and television, running from October to December. As Heather Stewart, BFI Creative Director has said: "The power of love is cinema's most seductive illusion, making our hearts beat faster and shaping our dreams and longings; BFI LOVE will truly be an affair to remember." SunSet ScreeningS and Summer love The trend for exciting screening locations continues iriS 93-year-old style icon Iris Apfel is the star of Albert Maysles' charming documentary The legendary documentarian opens up the world of the flamboyantly dressed, "rare bird of fashion" Iris Apfel, exploring her life, her creativity and her spirit. We get a look back at her early design days, when she would travel the world with her husband Carl, sourcing textiles for their company Old World Weavers, to the exhibition of her fashion and jewellery collection at the Met in 2005/06, which made her a public sensation. Maysles also throws open the doors to her life now, taking us inside her fabulous apartments, following her on shopping trips in Harlem and Palm Beach, and her never-ending work commitments, which include modelling for magazines, hosting styling events, teaching students and designing jewellery. Iris is a film about fashion, so there's no surprise that we see some remarkable clothes and accessories. Watching her put together outfits and explain where and how she came by certain pieces is joyful, and provides her with the opportunity to dispense nuggets of wisdom like "colour can raise the dead". But the film is also so much more than that – it's about Iris' marriage to her husband Carl and how they've built a fabulous life together, it's about how important it is to stay creative and have a zest for life. Despite all the style and glamour, Iris has real values; she knows that she's lucky to be able to work and do something she loves, that it's better to have a personality than be pretty, and that it's more important to be happy than well dressed. Iris is a witty, charming, one-of-a-kind woman, and Maysles gives us fascinating insight into her life, and what an extraordinary life it is.
