The Shoalhaven First Nations Film Festival (SFNFF) celebrates First Nations producers, directors, screenwriters, actors and communities, both within the Shoalhaven and across Australia.
Providing a platform for First Nations Peoples’ voices and stories, through film, it will contribute to the process of truth-telling and help to build understanding amongst non-Indigenous people of the culture, connection to country and resilience of Aboriginal People, and of the issues faced by them.
The objectives of the SFNFF are:
- to collaborate with local First Nations communities in presenting the Shoalhaven First Nations Film Festival
- to showcase the work of Indigenous filmmakers from around Australia, telling their own stories, to Shoalhaven’s First Nations communities
- to broaden understanding amongst a non-Indigenous audience of First Nations culture, connection to place, resilience and contribution to modern Australia
- to use any net proceeds from the festival to support local Indigenous students to become storytellers through film and to help lay the foundations for the 2025 First Nations Film Festival.
