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...

 RENTAL FAMILY "Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family." -  Anthony Brandt . My days became one jumbled hour after hour where time disappeared into another year, until here we are, the 1st of January 2026.  Nothing much stirred me to put pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, until this evening after  watching RENTAL FAMILY, starring Brendan Fraser.  Phillip Vanderploeg is a struggling actor who is selected to fill in for families as an individual with significance to the family member in need.  He is a writer, dad, mourner, not so much as a true story but reminiscent of Japanese companies serving the community by providing professional actors at events like funerals or weddings. Thereby formulating a whole new meaning to the responsibilities of a plus one. At its core, the film celebrates the connection of the human spirit; the inherent social need that humans have to socialising, being together, in all asp...

The Art In Healing

  "Our creativity is what enables us to function, day to day, in a changing environment, without it we would not be a surviving species". Richard Hill ‘The Art In Healing’ explores the role that creativity and art  play in people’s lives, particularly when personal trauma occurs or when people are afflicted by natural disasters. The inspiration for the film came about by contemplating the questions; ‘Why is art such an important aspect to civilisation and our society’? and ‘Does the human brain benefit from interacting with art, and if so, how’? From these questions a number of people offered their experience and research, especially in describing brain plasticity and the ability of the brain to rewire after an artistic experience. ‘The Art In Healing’ showcases a number of professionals, ranging from art therapists Simona Weinstein and Cornelia Elbrecht, therapist Richard Hill, musicians, Merelyn and David Carter, artist, Dr Anne Riggs, street artist, Amanda Newman...
