Show-Fest is widely recognised for its informative “Show and Tell” where cast and crew are invited on stage to answer questions about their film.
The filmmakers, judges, and the audience agreed that the 2009 festival was a success. There were only a few seats left by the time the first film in our sixth annual festival appeared on the screen.
Joining five Australian films in the line-up were entries from Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the US. Frank Monteleone of New York (writer—producer of finalist film Valley of the Moon) attended the festival so he could take part in the Show & Tell in person, rather than by video.
We are accepting submissions to the 2010 festival now!
