Mission: Empower, Support, & Recognize The Individual Creative Professionals Who Make Up The Fashion Film Community Worldwide

LJFFF 2013 will, once again, be the world’s largest gathering of fashion film professionals.

LJFFF 2012 was by all accounts a spectacular success. With over hundreds of fashion filmmakers from around the world in attendance, the packed theater of 500 attendees was enthralled by the top 1% of fashion films produced worldwide.

From our neighbors in Hollywood to the fashion capitals of the world, we came together once again to network, attend seminars & panels, screen films, go to press receptions, participate in After Parties, and win awards.

The films that made it into the final program represented some of the most brilliant and creative directors in filmmaking today. Curated from the dynamic and the exploding world of fashion film, are a glimpse of what’s trending in the minds of the world’s top fashion houses, designers, and stylists interpreted through the lens of their filmmaking counterparts.

For LJFFF 2012 we introduced the Red Camera Award. We are honored that Red Camera chose the LJFFF to be one of its premiere engagement points with film directors worldwide. New York based director Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri won the prestigious RED Camera Award of a new RED Epic.

This year, in support of our mission to empower creative professionals worldwide, we are introducing the International Fashion Film Awards (IFFA) at La Jolla Fashion Film Festival.

All events take place in and around La Jolla’s pristine coastline, parks, bays and famous Prospect Avenue, offering attendees a world-class seaside resort experience.

The LJFFF is designed to showcase the best in fashion films within the context of their creators. This unique programming provides attendees with an opportunity for high levels of engagement and understanding with the directors and their films. Curated from the time and space of this evolving and emerging art movement, the films presented during the LJFFF represent the classics and cutting-edge, the tense plots and art-based, the erotic and sobering, and, many more that defy definition.

Fashion cinema is revolutionizing fashion marketing, and LJFFF is at the cutting edge of it. The LJFFF combines cinema, social media, and fashion into one of the world’s premiere digital fashion events. Ultimately, the goal is to go beyond previous digital barriers and limitations to create new digital distribution channels, networks and markets for the benefit of both the designers and consumer.
