Five minutes of fame
The premiere screening event of the fourth annual Very Short Film Festival (VSFF) at the State Cinema on 31 May will be a unique celebration of Australian storytelling that showcases upcoming filmmakers.
With a focus on widespread participation the event will feature 10 finalist films all fitting within a five minute format.
Australian film producer and VSFF judge Deanne Weir said the event’s signature theme ‘spark’ would ignite the creativity of participants.
“As Paul Kelly tells us, from little things, big things grow and from imaginative and innovative filmmakers who master the art of the small film the big films of tomorrow can be born,” she said.
“I can’t wait to see the talent on display in this year’s Very Short Film Festival.”
The event will be officially opened by Hobart Mayor Anna Reynolds and will feature renowned industry experts including VSFF ambassadors Justin Kurzel and Leah Purcell and on the judging panel, independent producers, Bain Stewart and Deanne Weir.
The competition features a junior entry category for school-aged participants and an open category for all other entrants.
Finalists will enjoy mentorship opportunities, an all-inclusive trip to the festival premiere in Tasmania and cash prizes.
