Entries NOW OPEN

The Australian Refugee Film Festival wishes to announce that submissions for the 2011 edition of the festival are now open. Submissions are free and open to both Australian and International films, up to 10-15 minutes in duration.

In particular, they are seeking films that address the following issues:

·      Environmental displacement due to climate change

·      The refugee journey and the obstacles associated with it

·      Personal triumph stories of refugees and asylum seekers

·      Documented work of local and international organisations with refugees and asylum seekers

Films do not have to be limited to the above topics; the main criterion is that the film engages with refugee and asylum seeker issues both nationally and internationally.
