Showcasing the wonder of the Sutherland Shire we encourage filmmakers to explore all that this area has to offer, from the pristine beaches of Cronulla, to the hidden corners of the Royal National Park, to the many heritage-listed sites and culturally significant places rich with history. Discover the diverse range of people and places that spread through the Sutherland Shire and what stories could be told.

From documentaries to science-fiction we welcome all kinds of films and are excited to see the stories you tell.

Get creative with this year’s theme ‘Connected to Nature’.
