All Is Vanity
classified 15Please note: This was screened in Nov 2022
A meta-cinematic fantasy-comedy exploring the egos and eccentricities of a fashion shoot gone wrong.
An outlandish photographer (Sid Phoenix), his eager assistant (Yaseen Aroussi), a jaded make-up artist (Rosie Steel), and a bored model (Isabelle Bonfrer) gather for a fashion shoot in a London warehouse. But when one of them disappears, events take a turn for the bizarre and tensions begin to rise…
A playful, genre-bending directorial debut from Marcos Mereles, All is Vanity begins as a deft, low-key satire of the hipster and fashion world, before morphing into different forms once, then again and once more for good luck. A side-splittingly funny and endlessly inventive puzzle piece that'll keep you guessing.
