About the Student Film Festival

Independent Schools Victoria’s Student Film Festival celebrates learning across the curriculum through the exciting and dynamic medium of short film.

Through film, students can tell stories, investigate ideas, document learning in any area of study and express the complexity of their thinking through a range of genres and technical approaches.

With the creative use of digital media, students can integrate their personal perspectives to explore the diverse and challenging issues of our time.

It’s open to all students, regardless of school.

Entries are now closed and judging is underway. Shortlisted entries will be notified in early October, ahead of our showcase screening at ACMI on Tuesday 29 October.
