FRIENDS OF THE FESTIVAL – AUSSIE LAUNCESTON

By October 24, 2025News

SHORTS BOFA is supported by Aussie Launceston. Aussie Launceston is a community focussed mortgage broker that can help first home buyers, investors and new home purchasers or provide customers with a quick home loan health check to ensure you’ve still got the best deal on your existing home loan. Aussie Launceston loves Australian stories and has made it possible for one of Australia’s leading film makers and actors Clayton Jacobsen (Kenny) to be a special guest at BOFA 2016 and a judge of the BOFA Aussie Short Film Competition.

The competitions for Best Aussie Short Film and Best Tassie Short Film are open to all Australian residents with a film of 15 minutes or less made in the last five years. Each winning film maker will receive the unique hand crafted blown glass BOFA Devil Award plus $1,000.

BOFA this year features two other short film competitions, Tasmanian Parks – a Place to Connect, celebrating the centenary of Tasmania’s National Parks, and, in a new initiative to promote junior football in Tasmania, Hawthorn Football Club has partnered with BOFA in a short film competition.

All the winning short films will be announced at BOFA 2016.
