The Canifff is as far as one of the best fashion film festival in the world. The selection was really good this year, a lot of pure fashion films, Roger and Martine Gingerich and the jury have made a fantastic selection, not only big branded films, but they also found some underground fantastic films I was really happy to discover as well. I was honored to be nominee this year in 3 categories and I can tell you the whole organization was amazing. The whole team are professionals communicators with high skills levels, not only on social media, but also on traditional medias. I had the chance to be ITW by one of the top Radio in Canada (radio Canada) for my film le rouge baiser. I really think this festival is a must if you are looking for exposure on your fashion film and if you want a very professional and sharp overview on the fashion film market.

This was our second film to be selected for this wonderful festival. We have seen many festivals around the world but the communication and quality of CANIFFF is in another level. Thank you for the amazing experience and selecting Conversazioni con la solitudine as part of your program. Hope we'll meet next year!
