Just seen Gabbeh at @filmchelt and what a beautifu Just seen Gabbeh at @filmchelt and what a beautiful, gentle, poetic film.

Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s 1996 film takes its name from the traditional Persian rug, and the gabbeh becomes the story itself. As an elderly couple spread their rug by a river to wash it, a young woman, Gabbeh, emerges from its woven imagery and begins to tell her story.

The colours, textures and stories of the land and its people are woven into these rugs. A gabbeh is almost like a story on the floor, with landscapes, animals, figures and memories expressed through simple shapes, patterns and colour.

The word gabbeh comes from the Persian gabbāh, meaning raw, natural, uncut or unfinished. Traditionally handwoven by nomadic tribes including the Qashqai, Luri and Bakhtiari of southwestern Iran, the rugs are made from thick hand-spun sheep’s wool. Even their colours come from the landscape, with the wool traditionally dyed using plants and other natural materials gathered from the surrounding environment.

Their designs are often freer and more abstract than formal Persian rugs, with geometric forms and stylised figures appearing across broad fields of colour.

In the film, these woven stories come to life. The landscape, people and animals seem to step straight out of the rug, creating a beautiful connection between the textile and the world from which it comes.

A story of family, love and longing, told through pattern and colour.

The film premiered in Un Certain Regard at Cannes in 1996 and went on to win international awards for its direction and artistic achievement. Easy to understand when every frame feels so carefully composed.

FilmChelt continues til Sunday 8 November evening.

🎬 HOLLYWOOD HISTORY IN NEON! ⚡ From Stanley Kubri 🎬 HOLLYWOOD HISTORY IN NEON! ⚡

From Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut to Ready Player One, Captain America, Fast & Furious 6 and Judge Dredd, an extraordinary collection of original screen-used movie neon signs is heading to auction in London.

Created by legendary London neon artist Chris Bracey, founder of @godsownjunkyard, these illuminated works helped bring some of cinema's most memorable worlds to life.

💡 Among the highlights:

🌈 Rainbow Fancy Dress, Dogs and Saxophone from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999), starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

⚡ STARK Industries from Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), starring Chris Evans.

🐉 Green Dragon from Fast & Furious 6 (2013), starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson.

💀 Off Your Skulls and 24 Hour Liquor Store from Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One (2018).

🔥 Erotic Art Shop, Striptease and Hollywood USA from Judge Dredd (1995), starring Sylvester Stallone.

The auction also features neon signs associated with Tomb Raider 2, The Flash, The Expendables 4, Gangs of London and The Gentlemen, alongside works connected to television shows including Strictly Come Dancing and First Dates.

And there's another Kubrick connection: sculptures by Herman Makkink, whose extraordinary designs featured in A Clockwork Orange (1971).

These remarkable pieces of film memorabilia and neon art are part of The Director's Cut: Film, Music & Hollywood Icons at @lotsroadauctions, going under the hammer on Thursday 19 November 2026.

A new face, a new life… but what about the interio A new face, a new life… but what about the interiors? 🌀

Screened last Sunday as part of @filmchelt2026’s AI strand, John Frankenheimer’s brilliant and influential Seconds (1966) is a psychological sci-fi thriller with extraordinary design to boot.

Arthur Hamilton’s well-to-do but stifling suburban family home makes his new Malibu beach house look like an escape into another world. Yet its promise of freedom soon feels suspect. The sinister offices of the company arranging his transformation, and a wildly distorted nightmare bedroom, make the architecture itself a source of dread.

Art director Ted Haworth, set decorator John P. Austin and cinematographer James Wong Howe create a world that feels wrong but deeply compelling at every angle.

Watching today, it brings the later A Clockwork Orange and Severance to mind: mind and body control, corporate menace and wonderfully unsettling interiors. There are echoes, too, in Get Out and Face/Off, with their disturbing possibilities for exchanging bodies and identities.

Essential viewing for anyone who likes their interiors with an existential crisis.

FilmChelt continues until Sunday 8 November. Links in bio under Website Features.

A young queen. A young filmmaker. A mother with a A young queen. A young filmmaker. A mother with a camera. 🎬👑

There's a fascinating symmetry at the heart of Making Marie Antoinette, the new documentary filmed by Eleanor Coppola during the production of her daughter @sofiacoppola's sumptuous 2006 film.

Marie Antoinette arrives at Versailles as a teenager, navigating an unfamiliar world of glamour, rigid protocol and overwhelming expectations.

Behind the camera, Sofia, then 34, is navigating a grand new world of her own, directing her most ambitious production to date at Versailles.

And watching it all unfold is her mother, Eleanor, capturing the extraordinary craftsmanship, personalities and moments behind the scenes.

One particularly touching detail: as a child, Sofia used to show Eleanor drawings of girls dressed as princesses. Years later, those childhood imaginings had become a magnificent film, and her mother was still there encouraging her, camera in hand.

Twenty years later, Sofia has helped bring her mother's documentary to the screen. ❤️

We attended Sofia's conversation at the BFI London Film Festival and watched the documentary, discovering fascinating stories behind the film's lavish interiors, furniture, costumes and production design.

🎥 Swipe to watch a clip from Making Marie Antoinette and explore the behind-the-scenes photographs.

Twenty years on, and Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoine Twenty years on, and Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006) is still a glorious feast of interiors, furniture and decorative detail. 🌸👑

From exquisite floral wallpapers and gilded 18th-century furniture to embroidered silks, extravagant beds and enough macarons to feed the French court, almost every frame is a work of art.

Those beautiful interiors tell a story. Marie's magnificent ceremonial bedchamber becomes a gilded cage, where even getting dressed involves a bewildering hierarchy of court etiquette.

Now, the new documentary Making Marie Antoinette, filmed by Sofia's mother Eleanor Coppola, reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship behind this sumptuous world.

We attended @sofiacoppola's Screen Talk at the BFI London Film Festival with @edibow and watched the documentary, and have brought together some fascinating discoveries about the people, design and artistry behind those unforgettable images.
