V-Fest NEVER disappoints!
V-Fest stats for 2023: 62 entries from 8 schools!!
On 4 December, at the Chauvel Cinema Paddington, 250 enthusiastic and very lucky people (plus 85 people viewing LIVE on YouTube) were treated to one of the most exquisite collections of student short films.
Brooding drama, quirky animations and sophisticated social comment were amongst the themes explored. Technically sophisticated, the audience was on the edge of their seats for 107 minutes.!
A huge shout-out to everyone who attended and continues to support this little film festival which had its roots in the Vaucluse High School Hall in 1999!
