Nominate to be the Australian Youth representative on the ReelOzInd! Jury
After the success of the inaugural ReelOzInd Australia Indonesia Short Film Competition and Festival in 2016, The Australia–Indonesia Centre is excited to announce its return in 2017.
The inaugural ReelOzInd! saw hundreds of entries from both nations and a shortlist of films screened in over a dozen cities in Australia and Indonesia. A global online audience of more than 5000 viewers had the opportunity to view and vote for their favourites to select the People’s Choice Award.
The ReelOzInd! Australia Indonesia Short Film Competition 2017 theme is WATER.
As island nations and neighbouring archipelagos, Australians and Indonesians have a special connection to the seas and waterways that flow around and through their lands.
ReelOzInd! 2017 is seeking documentary, fiction and animation short films from Indonesian and Australian filmmakers incorporating WATER as a theme within the story narrative, or as a visual element in the film.
A shortlist will be judged by high-profile Australians and Indonesians from the film industry.
Awards will be given for Best Film, Best Documentary, Best Animation, Best Fiction and special awards for Best Youth Film (created by a filmmaker 13–18 years) and Best Collaboration between Australian and Indonesian filmmakers.
The best films will be screened across Australia and Indonesia (September to November 2017) in a travelling festival (bioskop keliling) and appear in ACMI’s Mediatheque.
TO SUBMIT A FILM IN THE YOUTH CATEGORY (13–18 YEARS OLD)
All films must be less than 10 minutes, made within 12 months of the submissions close date, and incorporate the competition’s theme. Visit reelozind.com for full terms and conditions and submit films via https://filmfreeway.com/festival/reelozind/. Entry is free and submissions close 31 July 2017.

BACKGROUND
ReelOzInd! was established in 2016 to encourage Australians and Indonesians to share their stories. There is no other festival that brings Australian and Indonesian filmmakers together to share their work and stories on the same screen.
TESTIMONIALS
Amazing competition and fantastic communication from organisers. Great that my film was part of a brilliant group of films that toured 14 cities in Australia and Indonesia.
– Radheya Jegatheva, Perth Modern School, Director/Producer, Winner Best Youth Film
The selected films really reflect the uniqueness of Australian and Indonesian culture and the relationship between the two countries that not many people know … ReelOzInd! plays a strategic role in growing the understanding among the young generation, future leaders of both countries.
– Ina Riyanto, Head of Film and Television, Universitas Multimedia Nusantara, Tangerang
Seeing all the great work from Indonesian filmmakers and also collaboration entries alongside my film Dog and Robot up on the big screen at ACMI was amazing. I even got to speak on a panel with the producer of The Matrix, one of my favourite films.
– Blair Harris, Animator, Dog and Robot, Winner Best Animation
