Harmony Film Festival
Known last year as the Australian Baha’i Film Festival, the Harmony Film Festival is an international short film festival in Sydney, Australia. The theme of the festival this year is “women”.
From their site:
The first year’s festival in 2004 was a huge success with 28 entries and over 700 people attending the Sydney screening night, multiple interstate screenings, a DVD compilation, radio interviews, plenty of media coverage and fantastic public feedback.
This year we aim to make Harmony Film Festival even better by opening it up to an even wider international community, adding a film camp to help budding filmmakers increase their skills and network with each other, new web forums and a whole lot more.
The Harmony Film Festival is inspired by the teachings of the Baha’i Faith – one of the world’s youngest global religions. Founded in the 1800s in Persia (modern Iran) by its prophet-founder Baha’u’llah, the faith is now present in virtually every corner of the world.
So get to work. Deadline for submissions is September 30th, 2005. Download the entry form here.
update:
There has been some discussion and some confusion about this, so just to clarify, the “signiture item” is no longer required in your submissions to the Harmony Film Fest.
Dear All,
To encourage the submission of more entries on the theme of “Woman”
and to allow the further exploration of women issues, we are accepting
films which do not contain the 2005 signature item.The signature item is no longer required for this year and will be
reintroduced in 2006.warm regards
