Festival Fashion Cinema (4)

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

The Fashion Cinema section was created to give visibility to costume design, an essential part of the film industry, and to the world of fashion from a cinematic perspective.

Costume design communicates the details of a character’s personality to the audience and helps actors transform into new, believable people on screen.

In this section, we pay tribute to costume designers and organize activities that showcase the remarkable work they do.

Fashion coexists here, presented through the lens of cinema.

Cash Prizes: 600€

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

Best Fashion Film Next Award – €300.
