From the Judges, on Finding Joy (2026)
From the Judges, on Finding Joy
A gentle character piece built in mockumentary form, where the documentary framing gives the whole thing an intimate, natural texture. The panel responded to the editing in the opening passages and to the comic timing that lets small moments land or fall away, along with a lead performance so unaffected it reads as the real thing. Warm, well-shaped and easy to connect with, the short carries a lovely message about the ordinary and the large things that make a life worth living.
From the Judges, on IN A PLACE LIKE THIS (2025)
From the Judges, on IN A PLACE LIKE THIS
A slasher set in the Australian bush, this short drew admiration for the way it reworks a familiar genre and for the polish of its craft. The editing, the colour work, and the practical wound and blood effects all landed strongly with the panel, as did cinematography that lets the natural landscape carry real atmosphere, and a title sequence whose camera movement pulled them straight into the story. The score sits neatly with the visuals, and the campfire song stayed with them as a memorable moment.
