Off Set 2018 TIFF Portrait Series: In Fabric

Published on September 24, 2018

It was a major coup for TIFF to nab the world premiere for Peter Strickland‘s fourth feature film. Selected for the Midnight Madness programme, In Fabric turned out to be a highly sought after acquisitions title (A24 folks picked it up last week) and not only elicit strong audience reactions, but also made for some fun critical assessment reads with high grades going to Marianne Jean-Baptiste (we fondly remember her massive 1996 breakout in Secrets & Lies) and Gwendoline Christie who are both deadly serious in their high camp setting. Here is our photo session with the Strickland and his screen pair.
