It’s been the launching pad for many an Australian director’s career and could well prove useful for one of these 16 filmmakers; yes, it’s almost that time of year for Tropfest, the world’s largest short film festival — and the finalists for the 2010 event have just been announced.
“Watching the entries each year is one the best parts of my job,” said festival director John Polson via a statement. “But choosing the 16 finalists is one of the toughest! This year’s line-up encompasses an incredible, entertaining and thought-provoking mix of comedy, drama, animation, documentary and even mocumentary! There are some familiar faces amongst the 16 finalists, including some past Tropfest finalists, but it’s also great to be able to showcase some of Australia’s best, new filmmaking talent.”
