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!

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...

  Apocalyptic Art 'This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper." T.S Eliot For centuries, artists and creatives alike have depicted the Apocalypse, which is the fantastical, unimaginable end of the world and all life on it.  At some point it is going to happen, maybe about 5 million years away when the sun burns out, so perhaps it is this truth that has artists thinking of what this end may look like.  Since it will happen, down the track. Recently it has felt like humanity was in the midst of it with the advent of Covid, but also with the devastation that climate change has been and is inflicting on the land and people globally.  It is very easy to start to think of the end, grim as that may sound. When I had created yesterday's art piece, even though I wasn't happy with the art work, I was very much intrigued by the colours in the background which reminded me of an apocalyptic feel, vibe.  So today's challenge I set ...

Silver Linings Playbook-Cinematography

Cinematography "Photography is truth.  The cinema is truth 24 times per second." Jean-Luc Godard. It comes as no surprise that I made a point of watching 'Silver Linings Playbook', directed by David. O Russell for the one and only  reason that Bradley Cooper is the lead.  I admire his ease and fluidity as an actor in front of the camera, coupled with the control that his eyes muster with each line of dialogue that he delivers.  'Silver Linings Playbook' revolves around Bradley Cooper who plays Pat Solitano, a teacher with Bipolar disorder who has been released from the psychiatric hospital, under the care of his mother, Jacki Weaver and his father, played by Robert De Niro.  He is determined to win back his ex wife, but in the interim meets Tiffany Maxwell, played by Jennifer Lawrence, a recently widowed sex addict who tells him that she will help him get his wife back, providing he enters a dance competition with her.  It is a feel good story by ...
