Help us put independent stories on the big screen.
​
Your donation directly supports emerging filmmakers, local creative talent, and audiences who believe cinema should surprise, challenge, and connect us. Our organisers do this for the love of film - volunteering their time and skills without payment - so every contribution goes towards keeping the festival alive, screening more films, and celebrating more voices.
 
When you donate, you become part of the story.
​
Behind every festival screening is a filmmaker taking a creative risk, a volunteer making it happen, and an audience discovering something new. Our team runs this festival because we believe in independent cinema—not for payment, but for the joy of bringing great stories to our community. Your support keeps that energy alive.
 
Your gift helps a short film find its audience.
​
For many emerging filmmakers, a festival screening is their first chance to see their work with a real audience, meet other creatives, and take the next step in their career. Our organisers give their time freely because they love film and believe in the people making it. Your donation helps us continue that work.
