ABOUT

Founded by THE COLLECTIONS™ in 2010, DIScONNECT™ FASHION FILM FESTIVAL (DFFF), Canada’s first fashion film festival, continues to curate and feature the works of contemporary filmmakers with a focus on fashion. A ‘thinking’ platform for artists, each season filmmakers use technical film and cinematography mechanics to visually explore a given theme in 1-3 mins short films. Themes address shifting paradigms and societal conventions that directly influence the World of Fashion — identifying the disconnect between promoted, popular, ideas and the reality of what is.
