Visiting the Festival
The Far South Film Festival is produced by a volunteer team from Far South Film Inc, a not-for-profit incorporated association of professional and emerging filmmakers and digital creatives living in South East regional NSW.
We invite filmmakers from regional and remote areas of Australia to submit short films under 40 minutes or feature films under 90 minutes in length that reflect the people, environment and issues that matter to you to our festival.
We look forward to watching the unique, the beautiful, the scary and the moving stories from filmmakers living outside the metropolitan areas of our island continent.
The major prize for Best Film is AUD$1000 cash with cash and in-kind prizes for all categories in the festival totalling $5000.
