Sean Ono Lennon steps behind the camera for his directorial debut with "ThreeASFOUR: Full Circle," a documentary celebrating the avant-garde New York fashion collective of the same name. Co-directed with Brian C. González, the film premieres at the Tribeca Festival on Sunday night before heading to Film Forum in New York this fall via Assembly Releasing.
The doc explores ThreeASFOUR, the experimental fashion group founded by Gabi Asfour and Angela Pancrazio that has long operated at the intersection of art, design, and performance. Known for their boundary-pushing runway shows and conceptual approach to clothing, the collective represents a distinct voice in contemporary fashion that values artistic vision over commercial streamlining.
Lennon's entry into documentary filmmaking marks a notable career turn for the musician and producer, son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. His choice of subject reflects a deep engagement with New York's creative underground and the kind of uncompromising artistic practice his parents championed throughout their careers.
The Tribeca premiere positions the film within the festival's longstanding commitment to documentary work that captures subcultures and creative communities often overlooked by mainstream media. Assembly Releasing, the distributor handling the fall theatrical run, has built a reputation for championing independent and art house cinema, suggesting the filmmakers' intention to reach a dedicated audience rather than pursue broader commercial appeal.
"ThreeASFOUR: Full Circle" arrives at a moment when fashion documentaries have gained traction within festival circuits, from "Dior and I" to recent projects exploring designers and collectives. Yet this particular film benefits from Lennon's insider perspective and genuine affection for its subjects, offering what promises to be an intimate chronicle of a group that has quietly influenced avant-garde fashion for decades.
