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!

 

Best Film Award

Cash   AU$1500.00
In Kind   AU$2000.00

The independent judging panel will choose the Best Film from the list of finalists.

The cash component is sponsored by LANNI.com (AU$1000), the maker of Lanni Ultimate Moisturiser, and Halyucinations Studios (AU$500), provider of visual media for visual artists.

The in-kind component is sponsored by film lighting hire company Xytech Australia and production and post-production audio services provider DX Sound.

Xytech’s New Zealand parent company supplied equipment to a number of major Hollywood features shooting there, winning contracts from international competitors due to the quality of their equipment. A long-term sponsor of Show-Fest, Xytech Australia is once again offering a voucher for hire to the value of AU$1000 (see their Web site for rates).

A new sponsor for 2010 is DX Sound, the audio services business of sound recordist and post sound mixer Dave Sims. The winner of the Best Film Award will receive two days of sound recording on a short film in Sydney (or elsewhere excluding expenses), valued at AU$1000.
