Some exciting news from our 2026 Hobart Premiere Weekend.
As VSFF continues to grow, it was incredibly special to see VSFF appear on Channel 7 News during the festival weekend.
The 2026 Hobart Premiere brought together filmmakers, audiences and industry guests across three days of screenings, workshops and events at the State Cinema, marking the official launch of this year’s festival and National Tour.
While the Channel 7 moment may have only been brief, seeing VSFF featured on mainstream television felt like a meaningful reminder of how far the festival has come and the growing support around Australian short filmmaking.
Most importantly, it reflects the incredible community helping shape VSFF — the filmmakers sharing their work, audiences showing up, volunteers giving their time, and the partners and supporters helping make it all possible.
The Hobart Premiere Weekend may now be wrapped, but we’re just getting started. The National Tour is taking films around the country over the coming months.
Short films. Big stories.
