This is his first solo museum exhibition and it honors his captivating contributions to fashion. The honoree for the evening was award-winning actor and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh. He was the recipient of this year’s film festival lifetime achievement award recognizing his body of impressive work in various aspects of the film and television industry. Branagh has over 60 film and television credits on his resume. His film “Belfast” was screened on Saturday night.

Branagh served as writer, producer and director on Belfast which is about a nine-year-old boy who must chart a path toward adulthood through a world that has suddenly turned upside down.
