IN OTHER NEWS:
“Audiences, starved for a spark of originality, enjoy short movies which are innovative, economic and highly entertaining. This year’s exciting field of entries ticks all these boxes. Congratulations to the award nominees and all the Top 100 finalists." - Paul Harris, Festival Director
Congratulations to all the nominees for awards this year! It's been a very strong Top 100 and everyone should be stoked to have their film screened as there were over 500 entries! If you weren't successful in getting a film screened this year, I'll have plenty of tips from Paul Harris to come as the Festival winds down on how to enter and get your submission noticed!
Here are some of the great films nominated for this year's massive prize pool!
BEST SHORT FILM
Provocative, haunting, beautiful, thrilling -- or all of them? Here are the four films we believe electrified the screen and embodied what SKFF looks for in a great short film.
At The Formal – Dir. Andrew Kavanagh / Prod. Ramona Telecican
Peekaboo – Dir. Damien Power / Prod. Joe Weatherstone
The Palace – Dir. Anthony Maras / Prod. Anthony Maras, Kate Croser, Andros Achilleos
Transmission – Dir. Zak Hilditch / Prod. Liz Kearney
BEST DIRECTOR
The creators of the cinematic visions in which the characters and story can exist.
At The Formal - Dir. Andrew Kavanagh\
Go The Dogs – Dir. Jackie van Beek
Paper Planes – Dir. Storm Ashwood
Transmission - Dir. Zak Hilditch
BEST ACTOR
These are the people that make characters come to life -- without their compelling portrayals, you might as well be reading a book!
Angourie Rice – Transmission
Alyssa McClelland – The Bride
Erol Afsin – The Palace
Wayne Davies – Transmission
BEST ACHIEVEMENT IN SCREENPLAY
You can have amazing actors, great direction and inspired production design, but with clunky dialogue and bad pacing, a bad script will always let a film down. Here are some great scripts:
After the Credits – Josh Lawson
Spider Walk - Raphael Sammut
The Bride - Charlie Clausen
The Human Fog - Tom Broadhurst
UNDER THE RADAR – BEST YOUTH SHORT FILM
Watch out oldies -- these guys are on their way to good things!
The Gay Son Dir. & Prod. Tom Wilson
The Silence of Whitewater Dir. & Prod. by Daniel James
The Trouble with Alexander – Dir. & Prod. by Blake Borcich
SBS AWARD
Our friends at SBS are awarding their favourite of the Top 100...
The Wilding - Dir. Grant Scicluna / Prod. Jannine Barnes
Ali 707 - Dir. Hannah Moore / Prod. Cameron Ford
Into The Sun - Dir. Amy Gebhardt / Prod. Allison Lockwood
Sidewalk Scribble - Dir. & Prod. Peter Lowey
