Celebrating
its fifth year in 2010, the Hillside
Film Festival is calling for entries from Victoria, Australia’s most promising young
filmmakers.
The festival gives emerging filmmakers the opportunity to see their
films on
the big screen in front of a large audience, be judged professionally
by some
of the most respected filmmakers and writers in the country, and win
some
fantastic prizes along the way.
Screened in
one of Victoria’s
most-beautiful cinemas, the Cameo Outdoor Cinema in Belgrave, the
festival
proudly focuses on artistic excellence and innovation, celebrating
great
filmmaking across all genres, styles and budgets. We want to hear from
young
filmmakers with a unique voice, a story to tell and a fresh approach to
filmmaking – not just those with the best equipment or famous friends.
Industry
judges include Sandra Sciberras, director of the AFI award-winning
‘Caterpillar Wish’ (AUS 2006), and Bridget
Callow, producer of the
AFI-nominated ‘Bitter and Twisted’ (AUS
2008).
This year, filmmakers are competing for a stack of
cash and awards, including a $1,000 cash prize from The Upwey
& District Community
Bank Group and a prize pack from
Madman Entertainment. Selected films will also feature on the small
screen,
presented on Foxtel’s Aurora Community Channel as part of Youth Week
2010. To
enter, films must be 15 minutes or less, and the filmmaker from
Victoria and aged
30 or under.
