An online film festival to celebrate the short format comedy.

Any and all comedy sub-genres welcome - romance, slapstick, animation, black comedy, absurdism, horror, dance, stand-up, musical - just make us smile or, even better, laugh! Any language is also welcome (as long as non-English films have English subtitles).

As a social distancing friendly film festival, the screening will be online through a private link to ticket holders. The film festival will be screened for a limited time so your film will not be publicly available.

Selected films will receive official selection laurels and the film voted the audience favourite will receive a certificate (which will be posted to you after the event).

LGBQTI+ themes welcome.

The film voted the audience favourite will receive a certificate (which will be posted to you after the event) and $US40 paid via PayPal. (You must have an active PayPal account to receive the prize money within 14 days of the film festival's end date).

All official selections will receive laurels.
