The Altona Beach Film Festival (ABFF) is a non-profit community run short film competition, open to the world and committed to encouraging creativity and community building in the inner west suburbs of Melbourne.
Returning for its fourth year, this year is proving to be particularly pawsome with the exciting announcement that all films submitted must relate to this year’s theme of ‘Pets’.
Think teachers Pet, Pet loves, Pet hates, clever pets, lots of pets, exotic pets, PETrology, PETite – the options are endless and it’s completely up to the film makers imagination.
As for the finer details… documentaries, animation, horror, comedy, drama all concepts, stories and themes are encouraged by the ABFF; films can be less than, but no longer than seven minutes long, and films can be made on phones, cameras, iPads and/or computers. The world of technology really has no boundaries, just as long as it relates to PETS then you are in with a chance.
ABFF encourage all age groups, all degrees of experience and wish to create a community event where friends, family and the public can enjoy the films on the big screen.
Entries for the festival are now open and close June 30 2018. All entries will be shown at the ABFF Gala Award Presentation and Film Screening Event on August 18 at Altona Theatre, Civic Parade, Altona. Tickets on sale early August, screening times to be advised. Entries must be sent to 3 Seagull Ave. Altona on USB or Disc in MP4 format.
Now all that’s left to do is run along and make your film!
