About the festival

UPDATE: Unfortunately our usual event partner Vivid Sydney 2020 was cancelled on the recommendations of the Australian Government and health authorities regarding non-essential, organised gatherings of more than 500 people. Vivid Sydney will shine brighter than ever in 2021! We certainly will be hosting a 2020 season and screening, however this year's events have made planning a little tricky - as for many within our industry. Please stay safe and stay tuned for updates as we navigate the unfolding situation for our 9th season. All submissions will still be judged and an Official Selection will still be screened at a later, safer date at a location TBD.

——

Freshflix is once again teaming up with Vivid Ideas to present the 9th season of incredible short films held at on the top floor of Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art overlooking the stunning Vivid lights of Circular Quay!

This event will once again showcase the brightest shining new talents of Australian and international independent film as they explode onto the silver screen as a part of the world-class Sydney Vivid festival. Following the main festival event will be a special late night screening of romance, mystery and wayward short films!

Our past events have set the tone with blazing sunsets, live music and art and a heck of a cinematic experience... Our inaugural event was set on a clifftop amidst the distant roar of crashing waves, another two warehouse parties with a Japanese food truck and banging great inner city vibes, a banquet feast followed by a film party in a craft brewery, a Freshflix showcase at the epic Roxy Theatre and a massive day of Hollywood high life in Los Angeles at the historical Raleigh Studios!

There will be awards.

There will be beverages.

And by golly, there will be a sensational time had by all.

Open for submissions of films under 20 mins.
