UNZIPPED 4K Restoration to Open at Film Forum With Mizrahi Q&As
Douglas Keeve's 1995 documentary features Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford and Kate Moss.
Douglas Keeve's UNZIPPED (1995), the fashion documentary featuring designer Isaac Mizrahi, will run at Film Forum from Friday, September 25 to Thursday, October 1 in a new 4K restoration.
Mizrahi proved a force of nature on the road to his fall 1994 collection, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve, Mizrahi's then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant, raucous 1990s, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable, and a vérité-style, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process, this artistic portrait — shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock — offers a view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius, as well as its personal costs.
Mizrahi, Keeve, producer Nina Santisi and special guests will appear for Q&As over opening weekend.
