The Sandfly Film Festival showcases and promotes Australian and international short films and music videos. From award winning works to cutting-edge new comers, from tear-jerkers to rip-snorters, thrillers, classics and indies, Sandfly presents films with bite!
Last year we expanded our reach to include venues not only throughout regional and metro NSW but also major international venues – New York, Bogota, Berlin and Los Angeles all took part in what was an amazing festival and we are hugely thankful to all that made it possible.
We were very proud to see two of our films be nominated at the American Academy Awards in 2013: Aquel No Era Yo and Mr Hublot were both nominated with Mr Hublot going on to win the Oscar for best animated short.
Stay tuned for details of the festival coming up in November 2014.
Note: We have extended our Festival Entry deadline to October 1st to allow for a small number of late entries.
