IMPORTANT Change of Entry Conditions
Wednesday, 27 April
To encourage the submission of more entries on the theme of "Woman" and to allow the further exploration of the issues entailed, we are accepting films which do not contain the 2005 signature item.
The signature item is no longer required for this year and will be reintroduced in 2006.
If you have any questions about this change in the entry conditions please contact one of the team!

New Name, New Year and a New Festival Website
Monday, 14 March
Welcome to our brand new home online. With the start of a new year the festival has had a new look for 2005 and a brand new website. If you're interested in entering the festival this year we have a fantastic theme for you and an interesting challenge with the addition of our signature item requirement. You can read more about both here.
Another important addition to the festival has been our online forums, where you can chat and get together with other filmmakers and film devotees across the globe. If you have feedback or suggestions from last year’s festival, get online and post them up.
Finally in 2005, we are happy to announce our first Film Camp at the serene setting of Yerrinbool College just an hour South of Sydney. Learn more about this exciting opportunity here.posted by Collis
