Far South Film Festival Pivots Online
The Far South Film Festival, showcasing regional filmmakers and their stories, will still go ahead despite all of NSW now being in lockdown. The Festival is now fully online with viewers able to enjoy the Festival as video-on-demand from 21 to 31 August. In these changing times, the Festival organisers were ready to pivot fast in case a lockdown came into effect. Existing cinema ticket-holders will have their tickets transferred to online tickets.
From the comfort of home, audiences from around Australia can view fifteen short films with a unique regional perspective, plus two Q&A panels with filmmakers and the Awards Ceremony hosted by popular entertainers Frankie J Holden OAM and Michelle Pettigrove.
The films in the second year of the festival, are from film makers living in regional Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, ACT and Western Australia across genres including scifi, drama, comedy, biography, animation and documentary.
The Far South Film Festival is the only festival in Australia to exclusively feature films from regional filmmakers. It is staged by Far South Film Inc - an association of screen creatives based in southeast NSW - who know that each region of Australia is unique, with important local stories just waiting to be seen and heard.
Audiences will be emailed a survey to vote for the People's Choice award, to be announced in September.
