In Short: The Shortlist for the Very Short Film Festival
The Very Short Film Festival is delighted to announce the shortlist for the national competition. Meet the shortlisted filmmakers: https://veryshortfilmfestival.com.au/meet-the-filmmakers/
This is no ordinary film festival. One of the positives of this very strange pandemic era has been that many of us have found the time, and the urge, to explore our hitherto unknown or overlooked creative sides. This national competition sprung out of the world weβre currently living in, encouraging all sorts of stories to be told and shared β particularly from those who are not usually.
βWhat an enormous pleasure it has been watching all the very short films submitted for the festival.β Says actor and judge Marta Dusseldorp. βSmart, engaging, thoughtful stories – full of intrigue, heart and connection and celebrating this complex life. Looking forward to gathering at Spring Bay Mill for this Very Short Film Festival visual feast.β
The winners will be announced at the Premiere Screening Event on Friday May 21 at Spring Bay Mill in Tasmania. Cash prizes will be awarded and mentorships given. Award-winning writer, musician and radio broadcaster, Casey Bennetto will MC, and Jay Jarome Trio will provide the music at our after party.Β Jarome, an up-and-coming Djindubari artist born and raised on Bribie Island, Queensland, is now based in Tasmania.
Tickets, from $15, are available for the event, https://springbaymill.com/event/very-short-film-festival/
The festival brought to you by Artology, which is known for inspiring creativity, and Spring Bay Mill, soon-to-be-known as the most idiosyncratic performance and conference venue on the East Coast of Tasmania.
βCreativity is our most valuable human resource, and in these times of climate change and a pandemic, we need solutions that are out of the box,β says Anna Cerneaz, MD of Artology. βOpportunities to play, to think, to create are essential to our future. With this festival, we want people to be inspired and let their imaginations go wild.β
The mentors and judges are award-winning actress Marta Dusseldorp who has worked extensively in theatre, film and television; artist Rocco Fazzari, well-known for his cartoons and illustrations in the Fairfax press; writer and editor Leta Keens; and Leah Purcell, one of Australiaβs most eminent cultural figures.
