SUBMISSIONS FOR FFFMILANO 9TH EDITION ARE NOW CLOSED

 

FASHION FILM FESTIVAL MILANO

A fashion film expresses fashion in an artistic way with a strong focus on photography, editing, music, aesthetics and poetry. Far from purely commercial purposes, fashion films expand our cultural understanding of the ever-changing fashion industry. They are used as a communication tool by fashion brands, magazines, organizations and activists to build an emotional connection with existing and new costumers and are an effective medium to raise interest in the digital age.

The goal of many Fashion Houses is to communicate the brand’s soul through visionary images created by talented filmmakers. We aim to unite the fashion industry in a single force: Fashion Film Festival Milano.

 

ABOUT

Founded and directed by Constanza Cavalli Etro, Fashion Film Festival Milano is an international event. More than a festival it is a platform, a cultural meeting point where fashion films from all over the world are presented to give testimony to the talent of both new and established directors. Fashion Film Festival Milano represents the manifold perspectives of the fashion industry and its aesthetic, narrative and stylistic codes, creating a constant exchange between artistic expressions, experiences and identities of creatives all over the world. The festival’s main spirit is to offer an international, democratic event where film submissions and screenings are completely free and open to everyone interested in fashion, cinema art and culture.

SPECIAL PROJECTS

FFFMilano features two special projects: #FFFMilanoForWomen to support protagonists and projects that give voice to and celebrate female talent within the creative industry and #FFFMilanoForGreen that aims to encourage  sustainable innovations in the fashion industry.

 

Since 2017, the #FFFMilanoForWomen initiative has involved women who are rising on their terms. These women represent a diversity of role models, they have different stories, personalities and perspectives which can be inspiring and empowering for other women to put themselves forward and pursue their own paths. FFFMilano dedicates women a special place in screenings, conversations and projects to build a community of talented, strong and determined women who respect and support each other.

#FFFMilanoForGreen was instituted in 2015 out of the need to address the scale of environmental challenges caused by the fashion industry and with the aim to inform and educate sustainable innovations that solve them. The initiative has an important place in every edition with special screenings and talks that involve important players and activists who share their experiences and explain what acts are necessary to build together a better future. Part of the initiative is the award category “Best Green Fashion Film”, the first of its kind given by a film festival to films that raise our consciousness and behaviour towards nature.
