New Zealand Short Film Competition for ‘Australia’

By now you’re likely well aware that Apple has established a Set To Screen educational podcast series and competition for young film students in the United States; now the Bazmark team have elaborated on this concept and a new competition, of similar vein, has been launched via New Zealand program Film3.

Baz Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge! and Romeo + Juliet, has documented Australia’s film-making process - and he’s giving Film3 viewers exclusive access to his videoblogs. All he wants in return is for you to then turn off your computer, pick up a camera, and show him how it’s done!

Using Australia as your inspiration, make a three minute film that incorporates something you’ve learnt from Baz’s videos and send it to us at Film3 for your chance to win big. The videos will be posted episodically in the lead-up to Australia’s release on December 26.

Entrants must live in New Zealand. Prizes include $2000 towards your next film, a tour of Wellywood, a script assessment from the New Zealand Film Commission and much, much more. So get cracking!

Watch the first Video Blog here, which includes additional footage not previously seen in the USA podcasts!

Entry rules and further information can be found via the 3 Film website.
