NYFTSA presents “Costume Designing with Linda Muir!” Join us March 17^th at 4:30 PM in Business room 104. Linda Muir (Oscar-nominee) is most known recently for her work on Nosferatu!

Over a long and celebrated career, Linda Muir has collaborated on plays, feature films, short films, television MOWs and series projects, embracing contemporary, period and fantastical scripts. From 1975 to 1991, Linda designed costumes for the theatre, including Manhattan’s Mabou Mines; she received Dora Mavor Moore awards for Daniel MacIver’s Jump and Richard Rose’s innovative first production of Tamara. Muir added television to the mix in 1985, eventually transitioning completely to film and television where she has successfully utilized an eye for detail and a real talent for capturing character in clothing.

Linda’s hallmark is extensive research and voracious reading: solid footings for her imaginative designs for productions that have received numerous nominations and awards, including Robert Eggers’ The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu; Atom Egoyan’s Exotica, and Sarabande; Patricia Rozema’s When Night Is Falling; John Greyson’s Lilies, and Rhombus Media’s September Songs, Long Days Journey Into Night, and Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould directed by François Girard. Most recently, Muir was immersed in 1838 Biedermeier Germany (with side trips to the Hunedoara and Bukovina, Romania, and 16 Century Hungary) to design the costuming for Eggers’ Nosferatu, which received costume nominations for The Critic’s Choice and BAFTA awards, an Oscar nomination, and the Adrian for Excellence in Period Film from the Costume Designer’s Guild.
