BOOTCAMP & PITCH
Are you interested to learn more about film making, gain inspiration from collaborating with makers from various disciplines, and get the opportunity to actually co-create a short fashion film? This is your chance!
Join the Fashion Film Bootcamp on Tuesday 8 April in Maastricht and the online Fashion Film Pitch on Tuesday 22 April 2025! This project is open to recently graduated designers, artists, art students, self-taught makers, and other creative professionals living in the Benelux region. Experience in filmmaking is not required; we value motivation, availability, flexibility, and interest in collaborative work more than previous experience!
In both 2023 and 2024, a short documentary was created to document the trajectory, including experiences from participants.
Fashion Film Bootcamp
This 1-day Bootcamp takes place at Centre Céramique in Maastricht from 10:00 – 19:00, and includes masterclasses and brainstorm sessions with Flo Meijer, (film maker), Puck Litaay (film director) and Sam Bassett (film maker), amongst others. After the masterclasses, we will form small teams to start a brainstorm and eventually develop a first draft of the concept for a short fashion film.
Fashion Film Pitch
Two weeks after the Bootcamp, on Tuesday 22 April, 19:00 – 20:00 (CET), all teams are invited to pitch their proposal in an online meeting. One team will be awarded with a budget of €5500 to realize the film under guidance, and in collaboration with, film maker Daniel van Hauten. The brand-new fashion film will premiere during FASHIONCLASH Festival 2025 (14-16 November)! After the festival, the film can be submitted to other (fashion)film festivals for 2026.
