5th Greek Australian Short Film Festival Call for Sponsors

“What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal. “ Albert Pike.



5th Greek Australian Short Film Festival


As the submissions are coming in from International and National Filmmakers of Greek background and or from filmmakers that have made films that are thematically Greek in nature, it excites me to see the program slowly panning out for the 5th Greek Australian Short Film Festival. The two sessions, International Films and National Films will be programmed in as part of the 21st Greek Film Festival which will be screened in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane and Canberra.

Submissions will close on the 15th of August and these can come through the Without A Box Website,





It has been great having these submissions come in and what's even more important is the support in the past that the Australian community has shown towards the filmmakers, by attending these screenings and applauding their films. Best Film will go out to the best film in each category; International and National category. These will be in the form of a cash prize and the idea is that this money can be further used by the filmmaker in the development of a future project.

Sponsors are an important part of any festival. Not only does sponsorship detail the support that is provided but it also exemplifies the confidence in the story telling that is portrayed by the filmmaker. It is an expensive venture realising a film and to be recognised at the end of that film by the audience, judges and the sponsors is a great feat for any creator of art. To think that a contribution is made in furthering the career of an emerging filmmaker and in providing a culturally significant moment for a community, and being at the core of that, is definitely special.


If you think that as an individual or as a director of your company you would be interested in sponsoring the 5th Greek Australian Short Film Festival, dates between the 15th of October until the 2nd of November, 2014, do let me know. A marketing package can be sent to you. I know that it is relevant to further our own goals, but surely there is always a greater reward in doing that little bit for others or the world. As Pike notes, I can see how that can remain and be deemed as immortal. In the interim the great films are coming in and the 5th Greek Australian Short Film Festival is looking sensational, I urge you to consider being a sponsor of this event!

Writer's block

Writer's block The Writer's responsibility is to his art.  He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one.  He has a dream.  It anguishes him so much he must get rid of it.  He has no peace until then... William Faulkner  Having written films, articles, essays, reports, it has always, at one stage or another, plagued me when I have had writer's block.  That moment when I sit staring at the computer screen as if it is an alien standing it's ground in a duel for battle with me.  Eyeing me, daring me to drop my weapons of my imagination.  The frustration builds up and chocolate beckons, serenading the virtues of itself.  It is all too familiar, this battle, and I may have thrown my writing in all together had it not been for my editor in the late 90's when I completed some articles for Who Weekly. I remember grizzling into the phone line with him that my writing was not perfect...there was something missing...I couldn't pinpoint it....

Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.

"Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. "   Corrie Ten Boom Corrie Ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker, who had helped many Jews escape during the Holocaust, was a prisoner and then a writer.  She held many memories, no doubt, fears; images that would stay forever and haunt her, but they were able to unlock a future for her that she would never have imagined.  Her writing and her boldness initiated her knighthood by the Queen of the Netherlands, The King's College in New York City named a new women's house in her honour, her book "The Hiding Place", was  made into a feature film, twice. Locked away in our computer hard drives are examples of our work and lives that we lock away when our computer sleeps, forgetting about their importance because we are always told to focus on the now, forgetting about our past.  Well, perhaps it is time that we also learn to love our past, regardless of what it was like, so that we can understand what our...

Cruella

Cruella “Cruella was in a box a long time, now Estella can be the one who makes guest appearances!” -Cruella Every so often, a film encapsulates all of the factors that make it ‘wow’, leaving the audience totally satisfied.  Cruella, directed by Craig Gillespie, starring Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, screenplay by Dana Fox and Tony McNamara, produced by Disney does exactly that. It was released in Australia on May the 27th, 2021, not the best year for a release due to the Pandemic and inherent lockdowns in this country, but nevertheless a real treat on any screen. The film follows Estella before she becomes Cruella De Vil; a gifted, precocious girl whose rebellious streak, fighting spirit and desire to become a fashion designer is the perfect mix for her journey through life.  She was orphaned at 12 from whom she thought was her biological mother, but of course the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and with the help of her two childhood partners, Horace and Jasper, Estella e...
