2018
Bokeh South African International Lifestyle and Fashion Film Festival winners announced
The winners of the 5th edition of
the Bokeh South African International Lifestyle and Fashion Film Festival, presented by Savanna Loco,
were announced on the 22 September at the Carrol Boyes showroom in Paarden Eiland. The extravagant red carpet gala awards
ceremony was a fitting culmination to the festival, after a few day lead up of
inspiring screenings, talks and competitions.
With the theme of Tim Burton, new venue, the
Carrol Boyes showroom played the perfect backdrop to a scene of fabulous gothic
extravagance, Carrol Boyes also debuted their new confectionary range on the
night. While the bridal inspired fashion show by local designer Abigail Betz
received high praise.
“The
Gala Events were the cherry on the cake and bring to a close the 2018 Bokeh
Festival events. I am once again humbled by the attention and accolades that
Bokeh continues to garner both locally and abroad. The support and commitment
shown by each member of the Bokeh team as well as our partners makes Bokeh the
world class platform it is.” Says Adrian Lazarus – Founder and Manging Director
of the Bokeh Festival.
“Savanna
Premium Cider is known for its funny, quirky and unapologetic nature, but there
is also a lesser-known maverick side to Savanna, which is always pushing the
boundaries, unafraid to break new ground and to try new things. We believe
strongly in the strength of joint branding, provided the brands are strongly
aligned on their vision and future direction. Bokeh is well aligned to the
principles of breaking new ground, always premium and unmistakably original,
all of which firmly articulate the future of Savanna. As such, Savanna, led by
the premium variant, Savanna Loco, are delighted to have formed this
partnership with Bokeh. We are proud to be able to extend our headline
sponsorship for a further year with the team at Bokeh!” Says Vicki
Herbertson – Head of RTD Distell.
“Mercedes-Benz
values the unique interactive sensory experience that the Bokeh Festival offers
us to share our brand values with the fashion film community, and feature our
latest models as the official vehicle sponsor. Our customers are highly
fashionable and their cars are not only an extension of their image, but an
integral part of their lifestyle. Fashion and cars have always been closely
linked as an expression of individuality and creativity, with both relying on
brilliant design. Our design philosophy of sensual purity expresses modern
luxury, which we interpret across our entire vehicle range to awaken emotions
much like the international films, art and fashion displayed at the
festival. It for this reason that we are
pleased to confirm the extension of our relationship with the Bokeh Festival
for a sixth consecutive year.” Says Selvin Govender – Marketing Director of
Mercedes-Benz Cars South Africa.
Attendees went all out when it came to their
outfits, and for good reason, as the V&A Waterfront generously awarded
R10 000 each to the best dressed woman and man of the night.
The SA International Make-up Championship
title was awarded to Elena Bettanello from Italy, who won R20 000 and beat
out twelve local and international contestants with their Tim Burton inspired
make-up and body art. While the Billy Preston Emerging Creative Talent Award and
R50 000 went to student film What Would
Sarah Do?
Fourteen exclusively designed Carrol Boyes
awards were given away with Best Picture being awarded to South African film Lovely.
