Our organization is unprecedented in Canada in its quest to promote homegrown talent not only to local productions, but also to the rest of the world. CAFTCAD aspires to create a mutually beneficial relationship between the film community, fashion community and all of the other businesses that we interact with on a daily basis.
Last year’s hugely successful party was held September 8, 2008 at the Intercontinental Hotel during the Toronto International Film Festival week. It was exciting to see over 200 film and fashion industry professionals in attendance, among them Producer Don Carmody (Chicago & Silent Hill), Director and Production Designer David Hackl (Saw II thru V) and Photographer Rino Noto.
The work of Canadian costume designers in TIFF films will be showcased, continuing to raise the profile of Costume Design in our country. We will be repeating last year’s wildly popular silent auction, the proceeds of which contribute to the Alliance’s many causes including:
- CREATING a permanent head office with a reference library and other research resources
- BUILDING national and regional directories of all professionals, companies, services and institutions related to the Costume Arts in Canada
- EXPANDING “CAFTCADEMY”, our professional development seminar series.
