Festival Fashion Cinema (4)

Festival start: 26 May 2026      Festival end: 30 May 2026

The Fashion Cinema Festival was created to shine a spotlight on the art of costume design—an essential element in the magic of filmmaking—and to celebrate the unique connection between fashion and the cinematic world.

Every garment tells a story. Costume design reveals the essence of each character, transforms actors, and brings to life the worlds that only cinema can imagine.

At our festival, we honor the brilliant creators behind costume design and offer experiences, encounters, and activities that showcase the extraordinary work of these artists.

Fashion takes center stage in this section, illuminated through a truly cinematic lens.

Cash Prizes: 600€

Best Fashion Film Talent Award – €300, sponsored by MAGRIT.

Best Fashion Film Next Award – €300.
