Movie magic is next level
The 2024 Port Shorts Film Festival is fast approaching bringing a showcase of short films from around the world and our own back yard.
Held over October 18 and 19 in Port Douglas, the festival’s film fiesta on Saturday night will be back at the stunning Rex Smeal Park.
Australian actor and Festival Ambassador Stephen Curry said the event was “not just an amazing quality short film festival in a spectacular location, it’s got a great atmosphere among the filmmakers and audience”.
“The filmmakers don’t just get a chance to meet up with other filmmakers, the organisers and locals make them feel a part of the community.”
The festival gives filmmakers a chance to win a share of more than $15,000 in cash and prizes and mix with some of the brightest stars of Australia’s screen industry.
On Friday night the festival is holding the Young Filmmakers Awards at the Clink Theatre – which will feature a presentation on “The Future of Filmmaking at Play”, a Junior Challenge Awards and Young Filmmakers Awards. The red-carpet event begins at 4pm to 6pm, with networking opportunities afterwards.
