Call For Entries: 5th Sydney Latin American Film Festival
March 10, 2010 11:02
Sydney’s Latin American Film Festival is preparing for its 5th annual event to be held 1-19 Deptember and is inviting local filmmakers to contribute short films, documentaries or features for the Festival, which will take place in September 2010.
As part of an extensive film program of international features, documentaries and shorts, the festival is also committed to featuring Australian and Latin filmmakers living in Australia and creating a space for the exhibition and celebration of films that relate to Latin America or to Latin American communities here in Australia.
“The festival has gone from strength to strength, and this year we will be once again featuring Australian-based films in a local filmmakers’ session and present the prestigious Local Filmmaker Audience Award and accompanying prize. There are many Spanish and Portuguese speaking communities living outside of Latin America and we think it’s important that films that relate to these communities be included in the Festival', said Organising Committee Member Chris Johns
As a not-for-profit community organisation, proceeds from the Festival are directed back into Latin American community organizations through our Community Support Program.
Submissions can be made until 30 April 2010 using the online submission system on the festival website. All instructions and forms are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
