Tropfest is Australia’s most prestigious short film festival and one of its most iconic cultural events. It is also the largest short film festival in the world.
Tropfest films are unique in that they have all been made specifically for Tropfest, will premiere at Tropfest and include the Tropfest Signature Item (or TSI), which changes each year. The TSI for the 2013 festival is “BALLOON”.

Is there food and drink available?
You can purchase food and drinks from our public bars and food tents. We will be bringing our own picnic stuff also, so feel free to bring your own stuff too.
