Thanks to the many people who have been asking about dates for 2007. We are yet to finalise dates but the NFF is usually held during November each year. Entries for the Newcastle Short Film Awards will open after September 2007.
Keep in touch and stay tuned for more news...
NEWCASTLE FILM FESTIVAL 2006 was a great success! Thank you to everyone who supported and enjoyed the event.
SUBURBAN MAYHEM, the Australian feature film which was filmed in Newcastle in 2005, had its Newcastle premiere on Friday 20 October. Attending the event were cast including AFI & IF Award winner Emily Barclay, Michael Dorman, Steve Bastoni as well as producer Leah Churchill Brown, director Paul Goldman & AWGIE Award winning writer Alice Bell.
Saturday 21 October the Newcastle Short Film Awards celebrated the best and brightest film makers from Newcastle and the Hunter region. The judges found it so hard to decide on a winner they chose two!
The Festival program for Saturday afternoon also included a special retrospective of films from 2005/2006 students from University of Newcastle School of Design, Communications & IT.
THANK YOU TO GREATER UNION AND ALL OUR WONDERFUL SPONSORS! It was a great Festival and we look forward to presenting another great event in 2007!
