Take 2: Natures Resources at GFT

Saturday 4 October, 2025 11.30 a.m.

Fashion curator Isabella Coraça will guide children through this special programme of animations showcasing the harmonious collaboration between humans and non-human species. Across the history of cinema, children’s animated films have conveyed profound wisdom by exploring the cooperation of human and non-human species and contemplating the uncertain boundary where the body ends and nature begins.

From the delicate silhouettes in Lotte Reiniger’s Thumbelina and the resourceful tiny mammal in How the Mole Got His Trousers to the vibrant and sensuous biodiversity celebrated in Idodo and The Butterfly, these films remind us that adornment is not the sole preserve of humankind. Felix the Cat’s slapstick antics in Comicalamities and the witty animal world of A is for Ant bring a touch of hilarity to themes of metamorphosis, empathy and adaptation. Together, these stories celebrate dress as both a wondrous and profoundly strange language concocted by nature and human creativity alike.

Isabella Coraça is a London-based dress historian and curator. She has worked with some of London’s most extensive collections of fashion and dress, including those at the British Museum, Historic Royal Palaces, the Victoria & Albert Museum, and the Museum of London. She is interested in how we narrate our identities through dress, both within academic and museum contexts.

Screening as part of Fashion in Film Festival’s 2025 season GROUNDED: Fashion’s Entanglements with Nature season.
