Filmmakers Fire Up For Tropfest’s 20th Birthday!Movie Extra Tropfest Australia today announces the 15 lucky filmmakers who will light up screens across the nation for Tropfest’s 20th competition. Finalists include second generation filmmaker Matilda Brown, Damian McLindon, director of the self-help documentary The Secret, and Tropfest’s youngest ever finalist, 16 year old star of the Foxtel hit series ‘Tangled’, Eva Lazzaro. For the second year, Tropfest fans have the opportunity to choose the 16th Finalist that will premiere at the festival on Sunday 19 February. Ten films, including work by comedian Peter Helliar, Looking for Alibrandi’s Kick Gurry and The Jesters’ Ben Geurens, will be shown on Tropfest’s YouTube channel from Monday 6 February. Visit www.youtube.com/tropfest to have your say. Tropfest’s Founder and Director, John Polson, says he’s thrilled to be celebrating Tropfest’s 20th Birthday: “Increasingly each year, I’m stunned by the quality of films entered into Tropfest from people all over Australia and the world, many with budgets of just a few dollars. Last year the quality was so strong, we let our audience decide on the 16th film for the first time, so we’re incredibly excited to be bringing our YouTube competition back this year. I want to congratulate all our filmmakers, and I want to thank our supporters for once again enabling Tropfest to take place FREE for the Australian – and now New Zealand - public - in particular our biggest partner, Movie Extra.” NSW Minister for Tourism, Major Events and the Arts, George Souris said the NSW Government through Destination NSW is proud to support Movie Extra Tropfest in its 20th anniversary year. 05.02.2012 | Editor's blog Cat. : Art Gallery of NSW Australia Bangkok Ben Geurens Berlin Charles Randolph Cinema of Australia comedian Contact Details Damian McLindon Director Entertainment Entertainment Eva Lazzaro Ewan McGregor Film Geoffrey Rush George Souris John Polson John Polson Las Vegas London Major Matilda Brown Mexico Minister Movie Extra Movie Network New York New Zealand Newtown Nicole Kidman Person Career Peter Helliar Quotation screenwriter and producer Short film Sydney Technology Technology Television in Australia the Tropfest Toronto Tropfest TROPFEST Tropfest finalists Tropicana Café www.tropfest.com/au www.youtube.com/tropfest YouTube PEOPLE
