Tropfest Huge Hit


Tropfest in Sydney
Tropfest celebrated its 20th Birthday last Sunday, 19 February 2012. Tropfest is one of several events that reinforce Sydney’s position as the film capital of Australia. Tropfest has grown over the 20 years to be the the largest short film festival in the world. This year it was not a one day event, but three days of screenings, live music, industry seminars.

Tropfest is screened at live sites around the country with spin-off events now staged in cities including New York, Las Vegas, Berlin, London, Penang, Bangkok, New Zealand and Abu Dhabi.

This year Tropfest was screened live to an estimated 150,000 at free outdoor public events across Australia and New Zealand. It took place for the first time this year in New Plymouth and in Wollongong. Stars including Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman and Geoffrey Rush attended the Sydney event in The Domain. It was also televised live on subscription TV channel Movie Extra. For all the results and information go to the Tropfest website.
