February 21st 2008 05:34
The festival is now calling for submissions for the 2008 event which will also select 12
feature-length films from around the world to compete for the $AUD60,000 jury prize
to reward “new directions in film”.
Next year will be the first year of the official competition, which will add an extra 12
red-carpet gala premiers to the festival program, June 4-22, 2008.
It’s expected the competition will attract more international guests to Sydney and more
business opportunities for local filmmakers.
