Fashion Moving Image Award

Submission
Fashion films represent an extraordinary opportunity to add a deeper and more thoughtful narrative to fashion communication. They offer a unique way to express thoughts and reflections whilst exploring the meaning of style and beauty, as well as being a reflection of the contemporary world in all its variety. Increasingly, no matter which area of the creative industries you work in, moving images such as film and animation are becoming a central avenue for creativity and communication. From experimental and avant-garde to commercial and documentary-style films, GFF wants to give a platform to the students who are experimenting and reshaping this genre of film.
