Now in its third year, the annual Mercedes-Benz Bokeh South African International Fashion Film Festival showcases creative talent in style, focusing on the masterful marriage of fashion and film. Budding film directors from the world over are offered a global stage to submit their unique short fashion films as well as shooting to the brief of ‘bespoke’ and Mercedes-Benz.
‘This is the third year that Mercedes-Benz is the headline sponsor of this prestigious and pioneering event. The Fashion Film Festival is a unique and multifaceted platform that showcases the best elements of our brand as it celebrates innovation, excellence and peak performance while establishing a strong and lasting emotional connection with a targeted global audience,’ says Selvin Govender, Mercedes Benz marketing director.
Running from 21-23 April at the new V&A Waterfront aquarium, the event culminates in a glittering awards ceremony with prizes awarded in categories covering all elements of the filmmaking process.
The grand prize is the Mercedes-Benz award, with the winner walking away with a cool $10 000.
