Melbourne Fashion Festival’s Fashion Film Award cultivates and promotes the art and beauty of fashion, whilst celebrating the cinematic excellence and diversity of short films.
In 2022, MFF will proudly host a red-carpet event and exclusive screening at ACMI, bringing together fashion storytellers and audiences alike to showcase the remarkable work of Australian and international filmmakers. For the 2022 Fashion Film Awards, we welcome fashion storytellers to submit both retrospective and recent works.
Through a process of application and industry selection, the Fashion Film Award places a deserving spotlight on fashion films as a key communication platform for both fashion designers and filmmakers, and for their ability to allow audiences to experience fashion in innovative and creative ways.
The winner and all finalists will receive the Melbourne Fashion Festival official laurel mark as recognition of their selection for the Fashion Film Award.
All finalists’ films will feature across multiple media channels, including a dedicated public screening event on Friday 4 March 2022 at ACMI.
The Festival welcomes submissions from all around Australia and the globe. We look forward to celebrating this unique genre of filmmaking with our audiences.
