MARTIN MARGIELA - MYTHOS DER MODE ist das einzigartige Porträt des größten Mythos der Modegeschichte. Der Designer inspiriert auch heute noch viele seiner jüngeren Kollegen, aber kaum jemand kennt sein Gesicht. Er bleibt ein wahres Rätsel. In MARTIN MARGIELA - MYTHOS DER MODE erzählt uns Martin Margiela „in his own words“ Stationen seiner Karriere und Momente aus seiner Jugend. Reiner Holzemer, der auch Regisseur und Produzent von DRIES ist, bringt Margiela dazu uns zu erzählen, was ihn dazu bewogen hat, Maison Martin Margiela zu gründen und nach 20 Jahren und 41 provokativen Kollektionen seinen Lebensweg zu ändern und die Modewelt ohne öffentliche Ankündigung zu verlassen. Dem Regisseur gelingt ein faszinierendes Porträt des "Banksy of Fashion": Die Hände und die Stimme des Designers beschreiben die bis jetzt unbekannte persönliche Geschichte eines Mannes, dessen Werk Teil unseres Alltags und unseres kulturellen Hintergrunds geworden ist. Der Film enthält unter anderem Interviews mit Jean Paul Gaultier, Carine Roitfeld, der Trendforscherin Lidewij Edelkoort, der Modekritikerin Cathy Horyn und dem Modehistoriker Olivier Saillard. Die Filmmusik wurde von der belgischen Rockband dEUS komponiert.

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the ABC Television Network today announced the 93rd Oscars® ceremony will move to Sunday, April 25, 2021, as a result of the global pandemic caused by COVID-19.  The show, which will air live on ABC, was originally scheduled for February 28, 2021.  Coinciding with the Oscars celebration, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, initially scheduled to open to the public on December 14, 2020, will now open on April 30, 2021, also as a result of the health crisis.

“For over a century, movies have played an important role in comforting, inspiring, and entertaining us during the darkest of times. They certainly have this year. Our hope, in extending the eligibility period and our Awards date, is to provide the flexibility filmmakers need to finish and release their films without being penalized for something beyond anyone’s control,” said Academy President David Rubin and Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. “This coming Oscars and the opening of our new museum will mark an historic moment, gathering movie fans around the world to unite through cinema." “We find ourselves in uncharted territory this year and will continue to work with our partners at the Academy to ensure next year’s show is a safe and celebratory event that also captures the excitement of the opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures,” said Karey Burke, president, ABC Entertainment.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano and featuring six floors of exhibition spaces, education and special event spaces, a conservation studio, a restaurant, a museum store, the 1,000-seat David Geffen Theater and the 288-seat Ted Mann Theater, will move its opening to April 30, 2021.

Bill Kramer, director of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, said, “I speak for all of us at the Museum when I say that we have been eagerly awaiting the moment when we can share the Academy Museum with movie lovers everywhere.  With the unprecedented and devastating pandemic happening around the world and our commitment first and foremost to the health and safety of our visitors and staff, we have made the difficult decision to wait a few more months to open our doors.  Thankfully, with COVID-19 safety protocols in place, exhibitions continue to be installed.  We look forward to April 2021 when Los Angeles and the world will be able to join together as the Academy celebrates the Oscars and the opening of its long-dreamed-of Museum.”

Dates also have shifted for the Academy Awards® eligibility period, submission deadlines and related awards season events.  The eligibility period for Academy Awards consideration has been extended beyond the standard December 31 deadline: a feature film must now have a qualifying release date between January 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021.  The submission deadline for specialty categories (Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature, Documentary Short Subject, International Feature Film, Animated Short Film, Live Action Short Film) is December 1, 2020.  The submission deadline for general entry categories, including Best Picture, Original Score and Original Song, is now January 15, 2021.   Further Information www.oscars.org
