"Such a wonderful festival, brilliantly run by a wonderful team"
"The quickest, most in-depth response I’ve received from a festival."
"The communication and feedback provided are second-to-none."
Better than a film festival and script competition combined, Sunday Shorts provides feedback on submissions, hosts monthly film and script events, and culminates with a Film Festival of screenings, networking and awards.
☻ Script Judging - We're looking for scripts with the most potential, that have utilised the screenplay medium. All short scripts are read to the end by a programmer and can request short or full feedback. Finalist scripts are read by another programmer and the festival director and discussed.
☻ Film Judging - All submissions are watched in their entirety by a programmer and/or the festival director. Feedback can be added to any submission for as little as $1 extra. Each judge selects and shares their favourites, before collaboratively curating a diverse program of different genres, styles and lengths.
☻ Q&As - We emphasise the importance of sharing our experiences, and strive to present a Q&A along with every official selection. Filmmakers are encouraged to attend their screening, but also have the opportunity to pre-record a Q&A video.
☻ Semi-Finalists - We award Semi-Finalist status to only a handful of projects that we really liked, but are unable to include in the current program. Semi-Finalists also receive a laurel, are promoted on social media, and are considered for future programs.
