2006 Scottsdale International Film Festival

Two esteemed members of the cinema costume design industry attended, making the Scottsdale International Film Festival one of the first in the world to feature costume design as part of its program.  Costume designer Michael Wilkinson introduced BABEL, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, and then held a post-film Q&A with the audience on the costuming field of cinema. Dr. Deborah Landis, a former President and member of the Costume Designers Guild also attended. She designed costumes for films such as INDIANA JONES: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and ANIMAL HOUSE, and has written multiple books on the costuming industry. Landis participated in a Q&A session with the audience after the premier of the film INFAMOUS, starring Sandra Bullock.
