FASHION FILM FESTIVAL MILANO
Founded and directed by Constanza Cavalli Etro, Fashion Film Festival Milano is an international event. It is not a simple Festival, but rather a platform, a big cultural meeting point, where the Fashion Films from all over the world are presented and shown as testimony of the personality and talent of their authors, both new and established. Different points of view, aesthetic, narrative and stylistic codes are mixed. A constant exchange of several artistic expressions, idioms, voices and experiences coming from all over the world.
The inclusive spirit of the Festival can be seen also through the free submissions of the films and free admissions to the cinema, allowing everybody to participate to the competition, screenings and conversations.
