Last night a bunch of us from Media 1 went to the St Kilda film festival. Such a great experience…

First of all, that Palais Theatre is incredible! I had never been to such beautiful venue before.

Secondly, I was blown away by how big this festival was…for some stupid reason I was under the assumption that this festival was going to be kind of low key, in a small hall, screening amateur student productions.

This was not the case, there must have been a few thousand people there and the short films were amazing. My favourite was the beginning short, loved the aesthetic flow of music and poetry overlaying some really moving images…check out the still shot.

Felt honoured to be there supporting the Australian film industry… It’s great to see the spotlight turned on some exceptional emerging artists whose work might otherwise not see the light of day… Especially on the big screen where they look their shiny best.
