The Anglesea Movie Club is delighted to once again sponsor the Anglesea Shorts Film Festival, returning on 28 February 2027.

After 2 very successful years, we have decided to open up the competition by introducing a third category for anyone over 18.The 3 categories and the prize money on offer are:

Juniors 8-13 $ 500
Seniors 14-18 $1000
Open 19+ $1500

The 6 finalists in each category will receive $100 each.

As part of the lead-up to the festival, we'll also be running two Film Making Courses at the Anglesea Community House.

This year we're offering two separate courses:

Junior Course (ages 8–13)
Senior/Open Course (ages 14 and over – teens and adults welcome!)

Whether you're interested in filmmaking yourself, have children or grandchildren who love being creative, or simply want to learn how to make memorable family videos, these courses are a fantastic opportunity. No previous experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and imagination.

It really is a lot of fun!
