Welcome

Welcome to our new and improved blog. Hopefully it will be a lot easier to use and interact with. Unfortunately we’re going to lose all the old blog posts in the changeover, so to summarise:

Festivals: There’s a whole bunch a exciting festivals coming up all over the place – TINA, Melbourne Fringe, and World of Women International Film Fest to name a few. Check out our calendar for more info.

Shameless plug: We’re running a special lip project – a calendar for 2005. Rather than feature the best work for 2004, we’re seeking new submissions on a range of themes. All info on this project can be found here, or email me at [email protected].
