Clémentine Schneidermann

A touring program of recent short films, commissioned by Film Hub Wales and delivered by the Independent Cinema Office, that showcases how contemporary working-class filmmakers depict working-class experiences in modern Britain. The program features films spanning various genres, from documentaries to flights of fancy, and aims to offer a richer, more complex, and creative perspective on working-class life beyond outdated stereotypes.

Documentary, performance, social commentary, and, of course, fashion. Ffasiwn, the film explores all of these forms but belongs to none. Clementine Schneidermann and Charlotte James have collaborated and worked with the same young people for the past four years. Drawing on their own industry experience, they have taught the young people skills such as sewing, customising clothes and styling in collaboration with Coed Cae Interact Club. The outfits you see in the film were designed and styled by the young people. In the film, the children parade from their estate to Blaenavon mountain revealing an intimate view of their world.
