ASVOFF (A Shaded View on Fashion Film) is the world’s first film festival dedicated to fashion, style and beauty. Since its launch in 2008, ASVOFF has gained critical acclaim for encouraging both emerging and established artists to reconsider the way that fashion is presented and for challenging the conventional parameters of film. ASVOFF tours the globe with screenings at prestigious institutions and events like the Centre Pompidou, the Guggenheim, MEP aka Maison European Photography, Silencio des Pres, the Barbican, Art Basel Miami, CaixaForum Barcelona, the Franz Mayer Museum and DSMP, the Cannes Film Festival in a host of creative capitals such as New York, London, Tokyo, Milan, Berlin, Shanghai, Moscow and Mexico City. ASVOFF is not only a competition of short fashion, culture films but also a travelling international event showcasing feature films, documentaries, conferences, performances and installations – making it a must-see on both the fashion calendar and the film circuit for its genre-bending and groundbreaking program. www.asvoff.com

    This festival was super fun! A really cool experience and great to have my film shown. I would have loved if there was more opportunity to network and mingle with other filmmakers and directors. The screenings were really cool but there was a lack of space inside the venue for downtime or socialising. A really amazing and innovative selection of films to watch, and a fascinating group of people to be around. Overall I had a great time! Thank you so much ASVOFF! I felt very inspired and motivated to make more films after attending this. All of the email communications prior to the event were also very clear and useful.

    Thank you so much for selecting our film for the festival—it’s such an honour! Although I couldn’t attend as I was in Panama, Sukie Smith, the brilliant singer-songwriter behind the music in the film, was there and had this to say:

    It was a complete joy to attend the festival. Hugely welcoming and friendly, full of stunningly interesting humans. Days and nights which unapologetically immersed me in creative philosophy. Feeling immediately at home and able to concentrate on aesthetic, creativity, beauty and prioritizing self-expression over everything, was so refreshing and inspiring. For everything to focus on ideas and imagination and the chutzpah to make things happen was a delightful surprise. The calibre of work was brilliant. So utterly proud to have been selected and very grateful to have seen so many astonishing and moving films.

    The festival is fortifying, like a health spa for my heart to then go back into the world of statistics, strategy and the constant demand of justification just to exist. Utterly brilliant, utterly beautiful and now a forever in my life.

    I wasn’t able to attend (mexico city is quite the commute) but we were delighted to have our work screened at ASVOFF and the photos of the event made me think ‘we really must fix that teleportation machine’ . Very proud to have been part of ASVOFF. Thank you!
