Introducing The Cyprus Fashion Film Festival (CFFF): A Fusion of Fashion and Film
Cult Experiences in collaboration with Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (FHNC) are proud to announce the first Cyprus Fashion Film Festival (CFFF). The event is set to take place on June 1st, at Ceti Locale in Limassol, and it promises to celebrate creativity and innovation - where fashion meets the art of film.
The Cyprus Fashion Film Festival aims to bring together fashion professionals and filmmakers for a day of celebrating the art of fashion and filmmaking. Through screenings of fashion films, a captivating fashion show and an award ceremony, our goal is to spotlight Cypriot creative's work and provide a platform for networking and collaboration. Additionally, there is set to be an exclusive red-carpet event, complete with professional photographers and reporters conducting interviews with you, our esteemed guests. The festival has also attracted international attention, receiving submissions from 15 countries, underscoring its growing global appeal and recognition.
FHNC will present a fashion show showcasing a collection, created by 14 emerging fashion designers and visual artists, through a fashion show at the CFFF. This show supports emerging Cypriot designers and showcases innovation and elegance within contemporary and sustainable fashion, with the theme for the fashion show being Cypriot architecture. It celebrates the rich cultural heritage and unique architectural elements of Cyprus through sustainable fashion designs. Notably, it marks the first-ever bicommunal fashion show in Cyprus, presenting sustainable fashion inspired by Cypriot cultural heritage, further highlighting the festival's commitment to promoting eco-conscious and culturally significant design.
Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus (FHNC) is a pioneering intercommunal youth platform committed to preserving the rich heritage of Cypriot fashion through sustainable and contemporary designs. The network aims to impact both the fashion industry and our community positively. Recognised for its excellence, FHNC proudly received the 'Culture and Arts' award at the prestigious Cyprus Diaspora Forum. FHNC has organized fashion exhibitions in Nicosia and London, featuring sustainable fashion blending tradition, and drawing 700+ visitors.
These events were backed by the Royal Commonwealth Society, ONEK, and the UK and Australia High Commissions.
