The eleventh Setting Sun International Film Festival (SSIFF) is calling for entries for its annual festival to be held next year.
On the 9-17 of May 20204, The Sun Theatre in Yarraville, Kindred Studios, and the Greek Centre, will also transform into a celebration of film.
The western suburb’s culturally diverse festival is seeking short and feature length films that tell a great story and entertain.
Festival Director Anna Bourozikas said filmmakers will have a chance to win $10,000 in cash and prizes.
“The 2023 festival was well attended with sold out sessions over 10 days that included a dense program of films, from emerging and established filmmakers,” she said.
“Program highlights included a female filmmakers’ program, hosted by Women in Film and TV (Vic), a selection of short films from the Athens Short Film Festival, and dedicated French language, LGBQTIA+ and access cinema programs.”
The festival is also offering a Victorian feature film maker the opportunity to have their film premiere during the festival with a Q and A to follow.
Following its popularity in the 2023 festival, SSIF will again partner with Filmonik Kabaret.
Anyone interested in making a short film will have the opportunity to work with others to make as many short films as possible, over a 72-hour period.
The films will then be screened as part of the festival at Kindred Studios in Yarraville.
This is a non-competitive fun weekend open to amateur and serious filmmakers.
