An Exclusive Feature Film Screening with the filmmaker, followed by a panel discussion.
Men of the Cloth
Three Italian master tailors, Nino Corvato, Checchino Fonticoli and Joe Centofanti spent their lifetime perfecting the skills to construct flawless custom suits. Will their Old World knowledge vanish with them? MEN OF THE CLOTH is an inspiring portrait of these three tailors who confront the decline of the apprentice system as they navigate their challenging roles in the twilight of their career. This film shares their passion and unravels the mystery of their artistry. Filmed over the course of eleven years, MEN OF THE CLOTH is a meditation on the value of handmade clothing.
