This year we aim it to be the biggest yet with all films entered to really showcase extremely talented people with disabilities. With over $100,000 worth of cash and prizes to be won this is a highly contested competition.
The theme for the competition asks film makers to 'Focus on the Ability' of people with a disability.
In 2009, CEO of NOVA Employment Martin Wren started with three ingredients:
* An inviolate belief in the ability of people with a disability
* A big idea
* A committed team of staff
In 2015 163 films were entered and the winners shared in over $100,000 in prizes.
The festival culminates in an awards night held in Sydney with 2016 dates set to be announced.
Entrants will have the chance to feel like Scorsese and see their films premiered on the big screen as well as the chance to have their film shown on national television.
The audience capacity for this festival is well over the 1,000,000 people mark and continuing to grow. Providing unmatched exposure for upcoming film makers.
Films will be both judged by a professional judging panel and put through an online voting process, with separate prizes for each category.
