A New Festival!

Destination Film Festival is here and I’m excited! Interest in DestFest is flooding in from everywhere. In talking with the filmmakers, many of them are run off their feet but are travelling long distances to be a part of it all. We have some amazing people on the panel and its going to be great to hear everyone’s spin on the direction and future of filmmaking in Australia.
There is constant debate surrounding the tug-a-war between culture and industry. However, DestFest  is not a criticism or an assessment of the cinema industry but rather a celebration of filmmaking in its most pure form. Short films are refreshing in that they are highly personal creations both in their content and in their process. It’s beautiful to see that Short-Culture is thriving - independent from the Hollywood concept of industry. DestFest is an outlet for discussion on a largely underground artform. Have a cruise around our DestFest website and keep visiting this blog as we’ll be keeping you updated with all the DestFest news!
