Darwin International Film Festival

Got an idea for a short film? The Darwin International Film Festival (DIFF) is calling for original short film screenplays of five to 10 pages in length. Five winning entrants will receive a professional script development period, industry mentoring and seed funding toward production of their short film – plus a premiere screening at DIFF in September this year.

Applications don’t require a producer or director attached as DIFF is looking for the best story ideas and draft scripts – so get writing!

ENTRIES CLOSE SAT 15 APR | diff.net.au | submissions to initiative@diff.net.au
