Film My Y

This is My Dream was released in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 line for adidas. The documentary follows the designer from Tokyo to New York as he creates and prepares the Y-3 Spring/Summer 2010 collection. While Stanley uses the collection as a backdrop, the film is about much more. Yamamoto, a notoriously private person, offers insight into his inspirations and thoughts, wherein he explains his attraction to the dark side of life. There are also intimate clips included, such as Yamamoto playing the guitar. The Stanley-directed documentary is the first significant portrait of the designer since Notebooks on Cities and Clothes, which was filmed in 1989. We included both on this list because it's interesting to see the evolution of Yamamoto and his brand within those 20 years.

Includes 8 films: Promise Her Anything But Give Her The Kitchen Sink, Shooting Star, Standup & Be Counted, Adam's Birth, Sweet Dreams, Folly, Women & Children At Large, and One On The Same. "Freude combines the most glorious artifacts of California living with a melange of domestic, maternal, and wholly personal symbols. The result is a free-flowing pastiche whose essence is the filmmaker's love of husband, babies, friends, and West Coast. Freude's work is a rare example of feminist filmmaking infused with humor, poetry, and sensuality." —Karen Cooper
