Invisible Beauty Screening and Q&A @ SFFilm Festival

  • CGV San Francisco 1000 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco, CA, 94109 United States (map)

Bethann Hardison is the fashion icon and cultural force you didn’t realize you already revered. As one of the first Black supermodels and an outspoken activist, Hardison took the world by storm in the 1970s, sharing the catwalk with Iman, and mentoring Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, and Tyson Beckford. Never content with the status quo, Hardison pushed for dialogue on representation and discussed raced and diversity years before those issues were part of the cultural conversation. She continues to advocate for change today. Hardison teams up with veteran fashion documentarian Frédéric Tcheng (Halston, Festival 2019) to tell her astonishing life story with lively commentary and salacious behind-the-scenes observations of the fashion elite. This insightful portrait of a remarkable woman also includes commentary from Whoopi Goldberg, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Zendaya.
