One of the things that help to brings characters to life are the clothes they wear. Submissions for work from every genre of film and television were sent in and selected. Shows like as Killjoys, Man in The High Castle, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and films like The Shape of Water (Guillermo del Toro), and Maudie (Aisling Walsh). In one look, audiences are able to discern if a character is serious or fun. They can tell what time period, or culture the character.
On January 8th, 2019 Joana Syrokomla, Chairman of the Canadian Alliance of Film & Television Costume Arts * Design (CAFTCAD) Awards announced the list of nominees selected for this year’s ceremony.
“We received over 80 submissions from across Canada for our first CAFTCAD Awards, and it has filled my heart to the brim. I’m so impressed with the talent we have here! It speaks directly to the reason we decided to hold this event in the first place. I’m so blessed to be able to share all these incredible people and their work at the event,” said Syrokomla.
The nominees are either Canadian citizens or have permanent resident status in Canada. Productions submitted were produced within Canada (costumes must have primarily been created and built in Canada). For co-productions, a minimum of 50% of the creation and build of costumes must have been within Canada. Additional details are available at thecaftcadawards.com/submissions/
The CAFTCAD Awards will take place on Sunday, February 10, 2019 at the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto.
