calling all film makers
One year in TaSmania 2020 playlist now live
We have received so many great film entries in 2020 that showcase Tassie adventure at its best. We hope to be able to show all the moods of our little island, with adventures filmed in different conditions throughout the year.
Films fit the following criteria to be eligible: maximum five minutes in length, featuring an adventure in Tasmania, entirely shot and edited between March 1 2019 and March 1 2020 and submitted by March 6 2020. There are some terms and conditions, including seeking all necessary permissions from your talent, props and owners of any content, and knowing the rules for drone usage in National Parks and other areas.
We encourage both fiction and non-fiction and love to see films that tell a story and feature the dramatic Tassie landscape.
The best submissions are usually screened as part of the Cradle Mountain Film Festival, but in 2020 will be shared via youtube from April 4. The overall winner will take away canyoning tours for two from Cradle Mountain Canyons. There will be prizes awarded for other categories.
Our guest judges are mountain and kayak guide and filmmaker, Chris Jones, and climber, author and Australian Geographic Spirit of Adventure winner 2018, Paul Pritchard. Both have been judges for the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival. We are honoured to have them judge our Tassie films this year!
