(http://www.filmink.com.au/public/uploads/img/giveaways/71662610299e0705c72f.jpg) This is indie short filmmaking at its very best! Now in its fifth year, the Sandfly Film Festival showcases the best short films from around the world. Without the limitations of specific genres or gimmicks, Sandfly is simply interested in compelling storytelling from filmmakers who know their craft! The 2014 selection of 24 films includes works from 17 different countries. The diverse mix includes established award winners and cutting-edge new comers, dramas, thrillers, documentaries, comedies, animations and music videos. And the festival definitely has an eye for breakout talent, garnering a reputation for discovering smash hits. Before it became a mega international hit, Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know”directed by Natasha Pincus won the Best Music Video Category at Sandfly. In 2013 two of the festival's selected films had their Australian Premiers at Sandfly and went on to feature at the Academy Awards: Aquel No Era Yo was nominated for Best Live Action Short and Mr. Hublot took out the Oscar for Best Animated Short. We’re giving away tickets to the Sandfly Film Festival Opening Night in Sydney, which will feature a cracker selection of shorts. The festivities will kick off on Saturday November 8 at 7pm at the Workshop, 80 George Street in Redfern. For your chance to win these tickets, simply let us know what you think makes a top-notch short film. Email to cara@filmink.com.au with your answer and details. The Sandly Film Festival will run in Sydney and Melbourne November 8 -15. Closing date: November 5, 2014 |
