Join us at ICP for a special screening of Role Models, directed by ICP Alumni Salome Oggenfuss, which focuses on a group of photographers documenting the goings on outside NYC fashion shows. The screening will be followed by Q+A with Oggenfuss. About the FilmRole Models is a film about everyday photo habitués who traverse the streets of New York and Paris in pursuit of models to snap pictures of outside fashion shows. They are frequenters of an outside, birdwatchers of female beauty, gleaners - picking up images at the margins, at the gates of patronised culture.Driven by adoration and loneliness, the men in the film aren't in it for the money, but are spurred on by the prospect of capturing transient interactions with the models to collect, in a hunt for images to take back home to their off-season hibernacula. In this image-coded world, they exist in ways that are equally social, para-social, and anti-social.The film is about longing in a culture of distantiating transparency and the mediated image, about the desire that got misplaced along the road somewhere. It’s a phenomenology of the outside: about those who don’t get to (and perhaps don’t even want to) exist on the inside—who don’t wear the badge of officialdom or the wristband of admittance.Operationally, it is a verité documentary that is turning itself upside down; a patchwork of characters; about men who look at women, men looking at women. It would not pass a reverse Bechtel Test. Retired after 30 years, one of the characters assesses his current passion like this: ‘They ask John Dillinger why do you rob banks? And he told them, ‘because that’s where the money is. And why do you photograph female models? Well, that’s where the beauty is.' About the Speakers: Salome Oggenfuss, born in Switzerland, is an artist working across disciplines.

Ticket and showtime information will be available soon on Metrograph's website.The legendary couture designer Yves Saint Laurent (1936-2008) was acutely aware of just how intense the relationship between clothing and camera can be. In many ways, his understanding of garment as image, expressed through his collaboration with dozens of the greatest fashion photographers, set the framework for a whole industry.In conjunction with ICP's major summer exhibition Yves Saint Laurent and Photography, the Dressed by Yves Saint Laurent film series at Metrograph showcases the best of Saint Laurent’s remarkable costume work for cinema. His genius for understated style and unexpected detail suited artfully disruptive and visually seductive directors such as Luis Buñuel, Alain Resnais, Luchino Visconti and Tony Scott.Ticket Benefits + ICP Members receive discounted tickets to the screenings by showing their membership card at Metrograph's box office.Show your Dressed by Yves Saint Laurent x Metrograph movie ticket at ICP for reduced admission to visit the exhibition Yves Saint Laurent and Photography, on view through September 28, 2026.

But underneath it’s a bleak and sharp surrealist object.” —Raymond Durgnat, Metrograph"Catherine Deneuve’s wardrobe stands out in Luis Bunuel’s chilly bourgeois settings. Saint Laurent’s buckled shoes proved so popular with the public they were reissued and renamed Belle de Jour." —David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of PhotographyThe Pink Panther The film that introduced the inept-yet-enormously egotistical Inspector Jacques Clouseau, arguably Peter Sellers’s most indelible comic creation, as well as Henry Mancini’s immortal “Pink Panther Theme,” Edwards’s inspired spoof of the classical detective yarn à la Agatha Christie finds Clouseau pitted against a master jewel thief known only as the Phantom, who has set his sights set on absconding with the world’s largest diamond. - Metrograph"Saint Laurent dressed The Pink Panther’s star actresses, Claudia Cardinale and Capucine. The combination of slapstick comedy and high style set the tone for many movies that followed."—David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of PhotographyArabesqueDonen’s “slick and satisfying” [Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader] Technicolor confection of romance, intrigue, flamboyant op-art inspired photography, and swank décor stars Gregory Peck as an American expert in hieroglyphics sucked into a criminal plot while doing a stint at Oxford and a sultry and seductive Sophia Loren as the woman who comes to his rescue. Frustrated with the scattershot script he’d been handed, Donen turned his focus to audiovisual experimentation, with the resulting feature part spy movie sendup, part over-the-top cinematic spree.—Metrograph"Sophia Loren’s wardrobe for this light-hearted tale of international intrigue is one of Saint Laurent’s lushest. Look out for the celebrated powder-pink gown." —David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of PhotographyStaviskyFrom money laundering to influence peddling, casino gambling to dabbling in controversial politics, the life of Serge Alexandre, aka Stavisky, flashes before our eyes and we see the making and unmaking of the theatrically charming con artist who used turn-of-the-century France as his playground. Resnais’s biographical drama features the late Jean-Paul Belmondo, in one of his greatest roles, as the eponymous swindler, a real-life adventurer whose 1934 death remains a mystery to this day; Anny Duperey, as his wife; a standout Charles Boyer, in his penultimate performance, as his nobleman friend; and music by Stephen Sondheim, contributing his only full-length film score.— Metrograph"Filmed by the great Sacha Vierny, Alain Resnais’ cult classic set in the 1930s is visually intriguing riddle within a riddle. Saint Laurent designed the clothes for Anny Duperey, playing Stavisky’s glamorous and enigmatic wife." —David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of PhotographyConversation PieceBurt Lancaster reunited with his The Leopard director for Visconti’s penultimate film, an elegant odd-couple chamber drama in which the leonine “Boit” plays a graying American intellectual immured from the modern world in his Roman palazzo—until, that is, his fortress of solitude is invaded by a pushy Marquise (Silvana Mangano) who browbears him into renting her his unused top floor to be used as a gilded cage for her boytoy, Konrad (Helmut Berger), a ’68 activist turned gigolo to the gentry, who interrupts the old man’s bedtime Mozart with Italopop and nude pot parties. Best known for his work in the epic vein, Visconti here renders verbal close-combat every bit as thrilling as any dispatch from the battlefields of Europe.—Metrograph"Helmut Berger plays Konrad, the androgynous and decadent gigolo. Yves Saint Laurent defines his character with a wardrobe of not-quite casual knitwear, jackets and slacks." —David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of PhotographyThe HungerA lush vampire romance with sex and style to spare, much of it provided by stars Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie as a couple of posh, centuries-old nightclubbing New York bloodsuckers who, when one begins to show the first signs of aging, recruit assistance from Susan Sarandon’s geriatrics researcher, then find themselves in a very, very attractive throuple. Yes, that’s “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” artists Bauhaus in a brief cameo.—Metrograph"Twenty years after Belle du Jour, Saint Laurent once again dressed Catherine Deneuve, for Tony Scott’s cult 1980s tale of elegant vampires. Her shoulder pads, lipstick and veils defined an era." —David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of PhotographyMississippi MermaidAdapted, like Truffaut’s The Bride Wore Black, from a crime novel by “William Irish” (a pseudonym of Cornell Woolrich), Mississippi Mermaid’s location-hopping tale of catastrophic amour fou begins on the Island of Réunion, where Jean-Paul Belmondo awaits the arrival of a mail order bride who might not be what she seems—though he doesn’t ask too many questions, since she’s Catherine Deneuve. A rueful and romantic journey in splendid widescreen from tropical heat to Mediterranean bliss to remote, snow-blown Alpine passes, featuring two of the most charismatic of French screen actors at peak power.—Metrograph"St. Laurent's and Deneuve's third collaboration in 1969 has the star dressed to kill in Francois Truffaut's Mississippi Mermaid. Taking place partly on the island of Reunion, the film was the perfect vessel to highlight the designer's vision for his 1968 Spring/Summer Rive Gauche collection, which drew heavily from safari and military dress aesthetics." —David Campany, Creative Director, International Center of Photography About MetrographLocated two blocks from ICP, Metrograph is the ultimate destination for movie lovers.
