CREATIVE CUTS - MicroFilm Fest returns

The Rangebow Festival proudly presents MicroFilm Fest 2024 – a short film competition and program that began at last year’s festival.

The MicroFilm Fest showcases local creative talent and connects filmmakers, creatives and screen industry professionals in our community.

Dr Christine Rogers (pictured) will be offering a workshop on developing screen stories. Christine is a Ngāi Tahu/Pākehā academic, filmmaker and textile artist, and is a lecturer in Screen Media Production at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

From 3pm, the MicroFilm Award finalists will be screened (under five minutes each), and winners for 2024 announced. Prizes awarded are Best in Fest (Queensland entrants), Best in Region, and Best School Student entry.

The judging and discussion panel includes film media experts from the Sunshine Coast Screen Collective, STUFFit Student Film Festival, RubyBlue Artists, UniSC, QUT, and Griffith University.

Save the date for some thought-provoking viewing and discussion! Saturday August 3, Montville Village Hall; films start at 10am, with the full program released in July. Visit therangebowfestival.org for more details.
