threeASFOUR: FULL CIRCLE at Film Forum
The rent on a Chinatown studio is part of the creative problem in threeASFOUR: FULL CIRCLE: the designers are financing intricate work for a coming runway collection while struggling to keep their workspace. That practical tension gives Sean Ono Lennon’s portrait of the fashion collective a clear frame: artistic experimentation has costs as well as ideas.
The costs behind a collection
The film combines archival footage with close observation of founders Gabi Asfour, Angela Donhauser and Adi Gil at work. They have collaborated for 25 years as the New York collective threeASFOUR, building a following that includes Björk, Marisa Tomei and Chloë Sevigny. The documentary sets that reputation alongside the more immediate challenge of paying studio rent and financing the next runway collection.
Lennon makes his documentary directorial debut; Brian C. González co-directed. The film’s focus on the working partnership makes the screening’s post-film conversation with Lennon and all three designers a particularly relevant part of the evening.

Nature’s patterns, new tools and reused textiles
Film Forum’s profile describes threeASFOUR’s broader design practice, rather than promising that every method appears in the film. The collective combines couture craftsmanship with tools including 3D printing, digital fashion and virtual environments. Its signature forms include curved lines, fractal structures and biomimicry—approaches that take patterns in nature as design material.
The same profile lists an unconventional range of collected textiles and objects: vintage denim, retro scarves, shuttlecocks, reused canvas paintings and dead-stock kimono fabrics from warehouses in Osaka. That emphasis on reuse sits alongside a record of collaborations with artists including Björk, Yoko Ono and Lady Gaga. The collective received the Cooper-Hewitt/Smithsonian National Design Award in 2015, and its work is held by London’s V&A Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
Fashion as a way to connect
Film Forum identifies the founders’ places of origin as Lebanon, the U.S.S.R. and Israel, and describes international, intercultural and interspecies unity as aims of the collective’s work. That context helps explain why its profile links technical choices—from formal biomimicry to digital environments—to a larger idea of connection, rather than treating them as novelty for its own sake.

Film Forum also lists the film with Q&As on Saturday, November 14, at 7 p.m., moderated by Marisa Tomei, and Sunday, November 15, at 2:30 p.m., moderated by Film Forum Premieres Artistic Director Mike Maggiore.
