Very Short Film Festival | National Premiere Weekend
State Cinema
The Very Short Film Festival National Premiere Weekend brings bold short films to the big screen in Hobart.
Each year, filmmakers are set a creative challenge. A single word must appear in every competition film. What they do with it is up to them. The result is fresh, surprising stories, from comedy to drama and everything in between.
The weekend is packed with screenings, conversations with filmmakers, industry talks, workshops and networking events. A special session showcases filmmakers aged 18 and under.
The highlight is the National Premiere and Awards night at the State Cinema. The year's finalists hit the big screen. The judges decide the winners live on the night.
After Hobart, the films head out on a national tour across Australia.
Every film runs under five minutes. So there is always another great story just around the corner.
