SCREEN DECO
SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 - JANUARY 1, 2026
AT FILM FORUM, NYC
Grand Hotel, 1931
1920-30년대 뉴욕의 건축양식은 엠파이어스테이트빌딩, 크라이슬러빌딩, 록펠러센터까지 아르데코(Art Deco)가 풍미했다. 아르데코는 기하학적 형태, 대칭, 풍부한 소재, 그리고 화려한 장식의 디자인으로 당대의 번영과 기술 발전을 상징했다. 할리우드에서도 아르데코 디자인을 배경으로 한 영화들이 대거 제작됐다.
맨해튼 필름포럼은 아르데코가 탄생한 파리 엑스포(Exposition des Arts Decoratifs and Industriels Modernes) 100주년을 기념해 9월 8일부터 내년 1월 1일까지 아르데코 영화제 '스크린 데코(SCREEN DECO)'를 연다.
그레타 가르보 주연 'A Woman of Affairs', 루이스 브룩스 주연의 '판도라의 박스(Pandora's Box), 보리스 칼로프와 벨라 루고시가 출연한 'Black Cat', 그레타 가르보와 존 배리무어 주연의 '그랜드 호텔(Grand Hotel)', 윌리엄 와일러 감독의 '카운셀러 엣 로(Counselor at Law)', 진저 로저스 주연 '탑 햇(Top Hat)' 등 25편이 상영된다.
필름포럼의 레퍼토리 아트디렉터 겸 프로그래머인 브루스 골드스타인은 "아르데코는 MGM의 미술감독 세드릭 기븐스(*파리 전시에 참석한 유일한 스튜디오 디자이너)에 의해 할리우드 영화에 본격적으로 소개되었다. 그는 조안 크로포드 주연의 무성영화 'Our Danced Daughters'에 처음 참가했다. '모던'은 제2차 세계대전까지 할리우드에서 지배적인 스타일이었다. 하지만, 은색 라메 드레스처럼 아르데코에 딱 들어맞는 것은 과감한 프리코드 시대였다"고 말했다.
하워드 맨델바움과 에릭 마이어스의 공저 '스크린 데코: 할리우드 하이 스타일 기념(Screen Deco: A Celebration of Hollywood High Style, 2001)'에서 "아르데코는 20년대 초 아르데코 운동의 초기 시절의 화려한 지그재그 무늬부터 30년대 모던의 간결하고 유선형의 기하학적 형태까지 모든 것을 아우른다. 아르데코는 두 세계대전 사이 미국에서 유행했던 부와 우아함에 대한 환상과 밀접한 관련이 있었다. 당연히 할리우드에도 자연스럽게 녹아들었다"고 썼다. 맨델바움과 마이어스는 11월 24일 월요일 오후 7시 30분 영화 속 아르데코 역사에 대한 50분 분량의 그림 프레젠테이션을 선보일 예정이다.
