Inspire creativity at this year’s Very Short Film Festival, where budding filmmakers and storytellers discover their unique voices. With a dedicated junior category, we invite high school and primary students to delve into the art of filmmaking and share captivating stories.
Films are kept within a 2 to 5-minute timeframe and can be captured using a camera or even just a mobile phone. Films can be made independently or as a collaboration with friends or school groups. Anyone is welcome to enter and we embrace all genres. All genres are welcome and we champion bold stories that challenge, enlighten, and inspire.
We believe that even the smallest films can create impact and social change, and we’re eager to hear the powerful voices of Australia’s young talents.
“I’ve always wanted to tell a family fable that was passed down to my father, then to me… and thought it would be the perfect story to share for this awesome film festival. Seeing my film on a big screen for the first time was an amazing experience! And winning at the VSFF feels surreal, but I’m very grateful for the opportunity.”
