by FilmInk Staff

The Greek Festival of Sydney, in collaboration with the Department of Modern Greek Studies at Sydney University, proudly announces a unique opportunity for emerging filmmakers: the 1st Greek Australian Youth Filmmaking Competition. This is more than a competition; it’s a platform to amplify your voice and vision.

We’re calling on the next generation of cinematic storytellers (aged 18-30) to delve into the rich tapestry of the “Greek Australian Panorama.” This is your chance to capture the essence of a vibrant, evolving identity – the stories, the struggles, the triumphs, and the unique cultural fusion that defines the Greek Australian experience.

What We’re Looking For:

We’re not just looking for films; we’re seeking cinematic experiences. Whether it’s a gripping short film, a powerful documentary, an evocative music video, or a thought-provoking film essay, we want you to push boundaries and challenge conventions. Your film should be a reflection of your perspective, your artistry, and your interpretation of what it means to be Greek Australian in today’s world. Think outside the box:

Raw Authenticity: Unfiltered narratives that resonate with truth.
Visual Poetry: Films that move and inspire through stunning imagery.
Cultural Fusion: Explorations of the dynamic interplay between Greek and Australian cultures.
Untold Stories: Shedding light on the hidden gems and unsung heroes of the Greek Australian community.

This is your opportunity to connect with a national audience, gain invaluable exposure, and contribute to the ongoing narrative of the Greek presence in Australia.

The Prize:

The winning filmmaker will receive a $2000 prize to fuel their future projects and will have their work showcased at the prestigious 30th Greek Film Festival of Sydney, a prime platform for emerging talent.
