On the eve of the Academy Awards each year, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, chair and founding director of the David C. Copley Center for the Study of Costume Design, welcomes a stellar group of international costume designers to the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television to discuss their craft.
The sixth annual “Sketch to Screen Costume Design Panel and Celebration” will take place on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2 p.m. at UCLA’s Schoenberg Hall.
Confirmed panelists include 2016 Oscar nominees Jenny Beavan (“Mad Max: Fury Road”), Paco Delgado (“The Danish Girl”), Sandy Powell (“Carol,” “Cinderella”) and Jacqueline West (“The Revenant”), along with Suttirat Anne Larlarb (“Steve Jobs”) and 2014 Oscar nominee ("American Hustle") Michael Wilkinson, who most recently created the costumes for "Joy.”
With Landis moderating, “Sketch to Screen” panelists engage in a thought-provoking discussion about the central role costume designers play in cinematic storytelling. Audience members are given an invaluable look into some of the most successful creative minds in Hollywood.
Panelists in previous years have included, among many others, Academy Award winners Mark Bridges (“The Artist”), Jacqueline Durran (“Anna Karenina”) and Catherine Martin (“The Great Gatsby”).
Support for the event is provided by Swarovski, designer of high-quality crystal jewelry, accessories and other products.
“Sketch to Screen” is open to the general public. Purchase tickets here.
