Screenwest supports new WA Made Film Festival

Screenwest is delighted to announce the latest recipient of the Audience and Community Engagement Fund: the WA Made Film Festival.

WA Made Film Festival will take place at Raine Cinemas across three days from Friday, 13 March until Sunday, 15 March 2020.

The festival aims to support and showcase the quality of productions coming out of WA, the amazing locations on offer and the high calibre of talent in both the filmmaking and acting fields. WA Made will also offer Q&As with filmmakers as part of each screening, allowing the audience to ask questions and learn about their filmmaking processes.

Festival Director Matthew Eeles said, “Jasmine Leivers and I are incredibly excited to be presenting the first ever WA Made Film Festival to audiences in March next year.

“Through this festival, we aim to present a selection of top quality films from all over the state, from Albany to Broome and everywhere in between.

“It’s my opinion that WA produces some of the best short films in the world and I can’t wait to showcase those shorts among a selection of top quality feature films from up-and-coming and established WA filmmakers.

“To top it all off, WA Made Film Festival will be screened at one of WA’s finest new cinemas, Palace Cinemas Raine Square. It doesn’t get much better than that!”

WA Made Film Festival is calling for submissions for short films, documentaries and features via film freeway. Submissions close Friday, 20 December 2019.
