CinefestOZ Film Festival (25 – 29 August) gets our vote as the festival most likely to run as normal, with the South Western Australian fest happening in the safest state around. Exactly how many of the non-WA filmmakers be will be able to attend the premieres of their films remains to be seen.
Nadia Tass has been announced as chair of the jury this year for the CinefestOZ Film Prize. The four finalist films competing are: Here Out West, Nitram, River and The Drover’s Wife The Legend of Molly Johnson. The winner will be announced on Saturday 29 August at the Gala Night celebration. The prize was not awarded in 2020, due to the pandemic, but previous winners include H is for Happiness (2019), Jirga (2018), and Ali’s Wedding (2017).
