FILM FASHION<br />
runway to the screen<br />
BY MADYSON HUCK<br />
Fashion Film is a medium exploring the fashion industry in<br />
innovative and experimental ways, and the Canadian International<br />
Fashion Film Festival (CANIFFF) is showcasing the latest in<br />
the genre. Aimed at featuring fresh, creative, and unique content,<br />
the festival is presenting a new and exciting lineup of short films<br />
this year. “The vision has stayed pretty true since the beginning”,<br />
comments Katrina Olson-Mottahed, Director and Co-Founder.<br />
“Three years later, we are receiving more Canadian films and can<br />
see the fruits of our labor. It’s so rewarding.” One featured Canadian<br />
submission is Radical Nature from She Said Films, in which three<br />
diverse women move through the city streets of Toronto, embracing<br />
their natural beauty and strength.<br />
Twelve judges are set to crown a series of awards, from categories<br />
such as best score, best content, and best styling. The best<br />
score nominees include Sweet Aubergine, a Romanian film pairing<br />
strong and confident women with a spaghetti western soundtrack,<br />
Blow, about a daredevil driver driving blindfolded with an Indian<br />
composer, and Not(e) for a Dreamer, that uses only natural light<br />
from Greve, Italy. The festival highlights a diverse range of filmmakers,<br />
and as Olson-Mottahed notes, “there are several of these<br />
filmmakers flying to Calgary to attend the festival. We love that we<br />
can host them in our city and show them how strongly we believe<br />
and support what they are doing.”<br />
In addition to the film screenings are presentations by celebrated<br />
artists, including a talk about inspiration from Italian filmmaker<br />
Luca Finotti, who won Best Fashion Film in 2017 at CANIFFF<br />
for We Believe in the Power of Love. Olson-Mottahed describes<br />
Finotti as “an incredibly fascinating individual and very talented<br />
filmmaker”, who has worked with brands such as Giorgio Armani<br />
and Versace, and with stars such as singer Lady Gaga and actress<br />

The festival launches on May 5 in Calgary, with tickets available<br />
on CANIFFF’s official website. The event includes screenings of<br />
selected and nominated films, a pink carpet reception at the<br />
Glenbow Theatre before the awards ceremony, and an after party<br />
on the second floor of Le Germain Hotel.<br />
