W FILM CLUB To launch inaugural W Retreat & Spa Bali Seminyak’s monthly film club, a selection of short films exploring fashion and moving image will be screened on Wednesday 14 August 2013.

Fashion films are a unique opportunity for musicians, filmmakers and designers to collaborate without boundaries. As such a evocative medium, film provides a creative outlet for designers to communicate their ideas and influences.

From traditional storytelling to more experimental film projects fashion designers have embraced short film in a digital age to engage and excite new audiences.
