The Namatan Short Film Festival is back in 2017

Vanuatu’s Namatan Short Film Festival is back again in 2017 and is calling all producers and actors to get filming.

Thanks to Namatan’s sponsors, Digicel and Air Vanuatu, there are seriously good prizes on offer, including a Phantom 3 Drone, a Samsung S7, a Samsung J5, a Tablet (Alcatel Pixi 4 7 inch) and a Phone (Alcatel Pixi 4 4 inch). For your chance to win, submit your film to the Australian High Commission by 19 April, 2017.

Namatan is open to all residents of Vanuatu of all ages and skill level.

 Participants must produce a short film of one to seven minutes which contains Namatan’s 2017 unique item, the Naio.

Finalists’ films will be screened in communities and schools on Efate, Tanna, Malekula and Santo and at the Namatan Grand Finale on 24 May.

Entry is free and easy, with all terms and conditions of entry available on the Australian High Commission’s website (http://vanuatu.embassy.gov.au).

Good luck to Vanuatu’s filmmakers and remember, Ae blong yu, lukluk blong mi.
