Description
AboutTropfest
Tropfest is regarded as one of Australia's most iconic cultural events, and the largest short film festival in the world. Tropfest is also known for its contribution to the development of the Australian film industry by providing unique platforms for emerging filmmakers through its events and initiatives, and new audiences for their work.
In 2009, for the first time, Movie Extra will conduct a live television broadcast of the event as part of their naming rights sponsorship of the 2009 – 2012 Australian events. This partnership makes the festival available to more than 1 million subscribers at home and at unofficial sites including pubs, clubs and community centres around the country.
The annual short film competition is open to anyone who wishes to enter – regardless of their background or experience. 16 Finalists are selected from an entry pool of an average 650 entries and compete for more than $100k worth of prizes. Tropfest films are unique in that they have all been made specifically for Tropfest, will premiere at Tropfest and include the Tropfest Signature Item (or TSI). The TSI for Movie Extra Tropfest 2009 is “SPRING”.
The event is free – and open to anyone who wishes to attend. The festival itself is an outdoor celebration complete with live music and entertainment, public catering and bars, red carpet arrivals and the highly anticipated film screenings followed by an awards ceremony.
