PFF is going global in 2020!
By submitting to Pasifika Film Fest in 2020, your film with have the opportunity to reach even more communities across Oceania with PFF's new 'Island Hop' Festival format.
2019 has seen a wave of Pacific film produced and screened around the world and so our focus for 2020 is to lay the foundation for these films to be accessible to their own communities as well as others throughout the islands, and by doing so, inspire further production of local content and an allied sense of pride and purpose for all Pacific nations.
In 2020, our objective is to extend our outreach and impact by producing a festival that screens films across Oceania during the month of October, thus increasing engagement with film in the region and sharing more Pasifika stories with more people.
The structure of the 2020 festival will be a diverse program of Pacific films screening for the duration of October across multiple Pacific Island nations, hosted by a local venue or venues.
Pasifika Film Fest (PFF) was created with the intention of providing a platform for a diverse community of Pacific filmmakers to have their work screened more extensively on the festival circuit and to encourage our writers, directors and actors to tell their unique and complex Pasifika stories; utilising both the power and beauty of our culture and the intricacies surrounding contemporary issues. PFF is also dedicated to nurturing and supporting budding Pasifika filmmakers, as well as being committed to showcasing our films to Pacific and non-Pacific communities alike.
