    ALTONA FILM FESTIVAL UPDATE

    Date:

    The Altona Beach Film Festival was a little different in 2020 as the organisers were forced to showcase all films live on YouTube due to the pandemic. Although this was successful and they were grateful to continue the festival, they hope that 2021 brings everyone back to the Altona Theatre in August for the 7th Annual Gala Award Presentation and Film Screening Event!

    Entries to the 2021 Altona Beach Film Festival are now open and the organisers are excited to see what people are going to produce for the theme ‘Space’. The event will have film entries from people from all walks of life – you can be any age and use any means to film your video, even your mobile phone. It’s open to anyone!

    Behind the scenes, the committee of volunteers are working hard on bringing their followers various competitions including a 30 second video to help show-off their brand-new theme. Check their social media to get up to date.

    For those who haven’t had a chance to come to one of Gala Presentation Events, you can check it out this year or enter a film. There’s prize money to be won and you will get your 7 minute or less film shown on the big screen!

    You can find all details and social media information at www.altonabeachfilmfestival.com.au or contact the AFF President, Annette Stephens: annettest@optusnet.com.au

    It's hard to find local stories because major news suppliers have economised by cutting local journalism. In addition, social media algorithms mean we have to work doubly hard to be seen.
