Between moving images and clothing, fashion film has become an avenue for fashion houses to provide an in-depth display of how cinema in its broadest sense has represented and interpreted fashion as a concept. Film is a spectacular vehicle to connect with people through a story on an emotional level, giving personal relevance to the brand.
Mercedes-Benz Bokeh South Africa International Fashion Film Festival celebrated the wondrous marvel of fashion film last weekend with gorgeous, quirky or downright mesmerizing imagery and challenging storylines.

The Mercedes-Benz Award and US$ 5000 was awarded to Wonderlust by Ernst Heusser.
