Melbourne International Film Festival

October 29, 2012 / / Comments Off on Melbourne International Film Festival

Is there possibly a way of alerting RMIT’s aspiring filmmaker students to let them know that submissions of short films/documentaries/feature films for 2013 MIFF will be opening on Monday 29 October?

We would love to encourage young Melbourne filmmakers to submit their films for consideration to be a part of the official selection for MIFF 2013.
I can send you a short blurb and links to the MIFF website submissions page. Is there an internal message board or something like that?
Hope you can help, and look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,

May 7, 2011 / / Comments Off on Intellectual Property Video Competition

Hi Paul, I thought I would send you a quick email to see how you and your students were going with the Hard Sell video competition, and to pass on some inspiration and hints and tips for your students. Mick in the Marketing team has had a go at creating his own video commercial to prove that you don’t need a lot of money, equipment or time to shoot an effective 60 second commercial about Intellectual Property (IP). Mick shot his video in a weekend using only a digital camera and a tripod. His mates did the acting and his dad did the voice over. To view Mick’s video and his hints and tips on creating a quality video, check out the Hard Sell webpage.

Enviromental Film Festival

March 1, 2011 / / Comments Off on Enviromental Film Festival

Last year we ran the festival for the first time.www.effm.org.au We had an outstanding turn-out, with films that sparked debate, inspired thought and empowered people to envision a better future. The festival will be running in mid-September this year, and we are now in the process of collecting films for this year’s screening. The festival will be running over 5 days, and in addition to a selection of international films, we would like to showcase some home-grown work from budding film-makers in Melbourne. We think it’s an excellent idea to encourage local film-makers to tackle the vast list of environmental issues our world faces, whether in the format of Documentary, Fiction or Animation. We would love to receive submissions from your students who are developing projects this year. The films do have a limit of 10 minutes, and will need to be ready by July. Films that are selected will be screened at the Kino in Melbourne, September.
