Moulin Rouge! cinematographer Don McAlpine, and Jocelyn Moorhouse, Director of 2015’s top Aussie film The Dressmaker, will also join the judging panel. These judges, with more to be announced in the coming days, will decide who of the 16 Tropfest finalist filmmakers will take home the coveted fruity trophy, $10,000 cash, a trip to Los Angeles for a week of meetings with industry execs, a Hyundai Tuscon for a year, and a Nikon D800 plus $2,000 of lenses and accessories.
Thanks to CGU Insurance, Tropfest is again staging a huge and FREE celebration of short film at Centennial Parklands, culminating in the world premiere of 16 spectacular short films incorporating this year’s Tropfest Signature Item (TSI) ‘CARD’ at 7:30pm.
