Behind the Seams: Crafting Period Films

Leading Art and Wardrobe department figures from Scottish Film and TV join us for an in-depth look at how period settings are authentically brought to life on screen.

Production Designer Tom Sayer (Guilt, Vigil, Lockerbie), Costume Designer Elle Wilson (The Fall of Sir Douglas Weatherford, Mint) and Costume and Set Supervisor Dena May Thanopoulos (The Buccaneers), take us on a journey through their respective career paths, explain the distinctions between different Art and Wardrobe department roles, and discuss their collaborative work on 1970s-set action thriller, Dead Shot.

A must attend event for anyone interested in historically-informed film production and learning more about working in Costume or Production Design.

This event is FREE, but ticketed, and will take place at Adelaide Place.
