The 3rd Annual Tasmanian Breath of Fresh Air Film Festival (BOFA) challenges filmmakers of all ages to tell a compelling story in three minutes or less as part of the festival’s “Make a Difference” Short Film Competition. Each short film must center on the act of making a positive difference, but is otherwise limited only by the filmmaker’s imagination – entries can tell stories either real or imaginary, can be of any genre and style, and can be sad, happy, funny, romantic, or anything else. The “Make a Difference” program awards $8,000 AUD in cash, divided among winners from the youth, student, and general competitions. The winning films will be exhibited at the festival.
