Guidelines
ENTRY TO BUSH FILM FESTIVAL 2010 IS NOW OPEN!
Bush Film Festival is not just about showing films – it’s about making them! And Bush Film Festival 2010 WE’VE BROUGHT DOWN THE BARRIERS SO YOU CAN TELL US A STORY!
What sort of story? You decide! It can be funny, sad, melancholy, hysterical. It can be about a fictional character, about you, your neighbour, your neighbours dog, a rock, a flower, a truck, a town. It can be a story of redemption, of conquering the odds, of just living life. Any story. TELL US THE STORY THAT YOU WANT TO TELL! Just make sure it includes this years signature item!
Each year we announce a Signature Item which must be included in all entries in all categories in some way. This ensures that each entry is made for this years festival.
This years Bush Film Festival Signature Item (BSI) is SMOKE.
