Quoted from ReelOzInd 2018 Festival Program IT IS WITH GREAT PLEASURE THAT WE PRESENT THE 3RD REELOZIND! AUSTRALIA INDONESIA SHORT FILM COMPETITION AND FESTIVAL.
This festival is unique. There is no other that brings Australian and Indonesian filmmakers together to share their work and stories in the same forum and which brings these films to audiences gathered in multiple locations across Indonesia and Australia and through our online platform. Once again this year we were excited by the great response to the competition in both countries, with high quality films entered in each of our categories; documentary, fiction, animation and representing young filmmakers and collaborations between Indonesians and Australians. We encourage you to vote for your own favourites in our online viewer poll and share them with your friends, and even better, to get together for a screening as a ReelOzInd! Pop-Up Festival Host (REELOZIND.COM). Thank you to our judges for their generosity, to all the entrants for sharing their wonderful creativity and we congratulate the winners! Enjoy! Selamat menonton! FINALIST ReelOzInd! Festival Film Reel 2018 ‘Youth’ |

ReelOzInd! aims to raise awareness and improve understanding between Australians and Indonesians. Although we are close neighbours, we know surprisingly little about each other. However, we also know that there is a great desire to learn more, particularly among younger generations in both countries. This year our theme is ‘youth’. This touring short film festival provides a platform for Australians and Indonesians to share their stories by way of this most compelling medium.
