The Moritz Feed Dog festival is set to return for its ninth edition from March 19 to March 23, 2024, at Mooby Bosque Barcelona and Casa Capell. This annual event merges documentary film with fashion, presenting a platform for discussions about the intersection of identity, culture, and art within the fashion industry.
Attendees can look forward to a carefully curated selection of documentaries that challenge the prevailing notion that fashion is fleeting and has diminished into mere trends driven by hyperconsumerism. As articulated by festival organizers, events like Moritz Feed Dog seek to unveil the layers beneath the surface of the fashion realm, transforming seemingly temporary narratives into lasting impressions through film screenings, talks, and exhibitions that celebrate influential figures in the field.
Among the highlights is the documentary on British supermodel Lesley Lawson, known as Twiggy, which will kick off the festival with a special screening featuring both the film’s director, Sadie Frost, and Twiggy herself. This presentation promises to provide fresh insights into the life of one of the most iconic faces of London’s Swinging Sixties. Closing the festival will be “Paris, Capitale de la Mode! 50 Ans de Fashion Week,” which offers an exploration of one of the most significant social phenomena within the industry.
This year’s festival emphasizes the lives and contributions of legendary designers. Documentaries such as “Adolfo Domínguez: El eco de otras voces” (2024), “Paco Rabanne. Una vida fuera del patrón” (2025), and “Shocking Schiaparelli, histoire d’une visionnaire de la mode” (2022) will provide audiences with in-depth portrayals of these pivotal figures in contemporary fashion history.
Also part of the lineup are films like “Dust to Dust” (2023), which advocates for the repurposing of discarded materials, and “Made in Ethiopia” (2024), focusing on the impacts of mass clothing production, including issues such as pollution and the destabilization of communities in the Global South.
With an agenda that seeks to enrich the understanding of fashion as a multifaceted discipline, the Moritz Feed Dog festival continues to attract those who appreciate fashion beyond its surface, ensuring lively discussions and varied experiences for participants.
