Copenhagen Fashion Film presents the festival:

THE SKIN I WEAR
Body, Gender & Identity

02.02.-14.02. 2016

Copenhagen Fashion Film festival – The Skin I Wear focused on the connections between fashion and film through various film screenings, talks, debates and special events. Combining the best of contemporary fashion films with a special selection of old cult fashion movies, the festival audience was not only in for breathtaking cinematography, but also outstanding fashion film treats.

This year we paid special tribute to the diversity of the human body and spirit by presenting a selection of films and events that discussed and challenged gender and body issues as well as fashion’s depictions of beauty and aging. We wished to celebrate the growing changes within fashion casting today and filmmakers who portray the varied and exceptional people of the world we live in – without ever having to compromise their fashion sense! By screening works by directors such as G.W. Pabst, Jennie Livingston, Xavier Dolan, Matt Lambert and Kathryn Ferguson the festival set up a programme that aimed to break boundaries and make us think.

For the first time in Copenhagen Fashion Film’s history all film artists out there had the chance to submit their fashion film to our short film programme. The prize-winners of this programme were elected by a highly acclaimed international jury consisting of some of today’s key players within fashion and film.
