The world’s largest short film festival, Tropfest Australia, supported by foundation partner CGU Insurance is encouraging submissions from amateurs and pros alike. Filmmakers with a burning passion for storytelling are invited to enter their films, with submissions opening 17 October 2018.
In Tropfest tradition, films must be no longer than seven minutes, and must contain the Tropfest Signature Item (TSI) – “CANDLE.” It is entirely up to entrants as to how they include the TSI in their film, with filmmakers encouraged to be as literal or as subtle as they like.
Tropfest is open to anyone aged 16 + with a camera and a story to tell – all you have to do is start shooting. Entries open for submission through the Tropfest website on October 17 2018.
For youth aged under 16, Trop jnr is for you. Each year, just like Tropfest, Trop Jr includes a “signature item” which needs to be incorporated into the entries to ensure that they are unique and are made specifically for Trop Jr. This year’s signature item is: “PIZZA”. Entries must be seven minutes or less, and Trop Jr must be their world premiere.
