Short+Sweet Film Festival Illawarra

Making the world a more creative place, ten minutes at a time. Short+Sweet Film Festival returns, showcasing Illawarra, Australian, and International FilmMakers. The Illawarra, located on the South Coast of NSW Australia, boasts an impressive theatre community with over a dozen active theatre companies and a large talent pool of actors, writers and directors. Short+Sweet Illawarra is proud to extend its festival to filmmakers in the region, providing a platform for their work to be seen alongside our Australian and international submissions. The Short+Sweet Film Festival is unique for three distinct reasons: 1) For just one entry you are in consideration for our 10 international festivals, opening up your chances to have your screen filmed around the world 2) We have a very strong international network and this network is constantly expanding. 3) We are unique in that we have a very strong connection to theatre. We do not believe the gap between theatre and film should be so wide and we aim to bridge this gap. With our Best Adaptation Award and our close partnership with our sister theatre festival, we encourage theatre and film practitioners to be one and the same. 4) We screen all sorts of films and all sorts of genres and support all sorts of filmmakers from seasoned pros to emerging artists
