27
years of successful
experience
We have been continuously running for over 27 years, a not so small feat, considering the trials and tribulations we have all experienced in that time. We started as a filmmaker-run festival, and are now gearing up for the second generation to take the reins. Our film festival can boast the largest traveling comedy film festival in Australia and the world.
We are run by a community from all varying backgrounds and our strength lies in our diversity. We are committed to the filmmakers that submit their art that make our festival fantastic and our patrons that support us year by year. New and old. So what are you waiting for.
