Now in its fourth year, the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival has become the annual global event for the worldwide fashion film community. With films and productions being made specifically for LJFFF, the festival has truly become a world-renowned event, with professionals from as close as Hollywood to the farthest fashion capitals of the world coming together to network, watch top films, learn, participate, win awards, make deals and attend fabulous parties.
\nThis year, LJFFF introduces the International Fashion Film Awards (IFFA). As the event has grown over the last four years, it has attracted the most highly skilled and creative individuals in the fashion and film industries, prompting LJFFF creator Fred Sweet to develop the IFFAs to recognize the contributions of the best writers, directors, producers, hairstylists, makeup artists and more to the world of fashion film.
\nWith fashion film now firmly established as a worldwide art movement, LJFFF and IFFA gives recognition and enhances the careers of creative professionals, as well as putting La Jolla on the map as the location of the first North American international fashion film festival. The Academy Award-style IFFA ceremony will take place in La Jolla\u2019s Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego on July 27 from 8 to 10:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.ljfff.com.
