Overview

Film buffs and budding Tarantinos, ho! The 10^th annual Bondi Short Film Festival is shaping up to be one helluva celebration to mark a decade of eclectic and wondrously first-rate local filmmaking. With last year’s winners including Cannes Jury Prize-winning film Jerrycan by Julius Avery and Best Script going to Tropfest winner Genevieve Clay’s Frances and Annie, this brilliant celebration of independent Sydney film making blends high caliber filmmaking with an undeniably delicious indie aesthetic, screened metres away from the seaside. The 10^th anniversary of this striking little festival is sure to prove a tasty menu, abound with local delicacies. "The Bondi Short Film Festival is 100% Australian content," says Founder and Festival Director, Francis Coady. "We are also completely independent. And so 10 years on, having attracted over 3,000 quality entries and counting — 2010 is not only a great milestone for the Festival, but it also clearly shows the growing public support, for local films and the short film medium."

This year's showcase will find itself blissfully lapping up late-Spring ambience with the addition of Bondi Pavilion’s outdoor Amphitheatre, as the sell-out event aims to embrace the inexplicable sensation of balmy evening picture viewing.
