Movie Mutuals Screening & Networking Event 2025 ✨✨

Details

## 📢 The 3rd Annual Movie Mutuals Screening (2025) is CONFIRMED!

Each year our community caps off the calendar with a public showcase of short films. It is equal parts a premiere night, networking hub, and celebration of Melbourne’s indie film scene.
Last year we packed out ACMI, screening more than a dozen shorts. This year we’re going even bigger: a larger cinema, twice the time, located in the CBD with of course a bar, all for the same ticket price.

## 🎬 Call for Submissions

I’m announcing this well in advance, giving you three months’ notice for film submissions, so there’s plenty of time to finish your current project or even start a new one.
We proudly showcase home-grown talent. As always, submissions for our annual screening are FREE. Owing to last year's high volume of entries, this year's lineup will be curated by the previous four voted-on Mutuals of the Year winners, who will decide their own selection process. Preference will be given to filmmakers who meet the following criteria:

Writer and Director are community members The writer and director should be active participants in our weekly Movie Mutuals meet-ups, and the majority of cast and crew should also come from our community. Films made by and with regular attendees will be favored.
Keep it short Please keep your film to approx 15 minutes or less (including credits). Shorter entries that leave room for more titles in the program will be favored.
Multiple submissions allowed You may submit more than one film, but it is likely that only one film per filmmaker will be selected. Short trailers of unreleased films are also welcome.
Nominate your VASSAL and supply a poster With entry, please provide an image of your film’s poster (it will appear on the voting box at the event) and nominate one VASSAL: someone you feel made an outstanding contribution to the production.
Deadline To be considered, make sure your film is fully submitted by 31 October.
