Competition to choose the 2017 Namatan Short Film Festival’s unique item

The Australian High Commission Namatan Short Film Festival is back again in 2017 and promises to be bigger and better than ever.

This year the Namatan Team is inviting you to choose the 2017 unique item. The winning suggestion will receive two tickets to enjoy gold class at the Tana Russet Ciné.

Each year filmmakers must include a unique item in their film. This is to prove that the films are created specifically for that year’s festival. Simply send us your suggestion for the unique item and an explanation of what it symbolizes to the Australian High Commission Facebook page or email Australia_vanuatu@dfat.gov.au by 4:30pm on Thursday 2 March to be in with a chance to win.

The 2017 Namatan Short Film Festival will be launching soon with help from our sponsors Digicel and Air Vanuatu and our partner the Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation (VBTC), so start thinking about the story you want to tell. This is your chance to show your talent to the country, and win some great prizes too!

The Australian High Commission Namatan Short Film Festival was first launched in 2012 to give the people of Vanuatu a chance to express their ideas and creativity through film.  Over the years, the story has continued, with finalists screened to over 3500 people around the country.
