Opening Night was (as always) a roaring success, with all screened films generating thunderous applause from the massive Palais audience. The Globe Collector had a particularly loud response of laughter and cheers, so too did Transmission (how good was the little girl's performance?!). Glen Robbins was the understated yet warm and funny host, guiding everyone through the speeches -- with Paul Harris' trademark wit and passion for film the highlight.
So where do we go from here?

FORUM FEVER: Part 1
In 2011 SKFF asked filmmaking enthusiasts what they'd like to see more of at the Festival. The overwhelming response to this question was MORE FORUMS! So the wonderful program developers answered with double the forums - which address subjects from music video production to pitching to editing and beyond.
The first in the series is 'Pitch Clinic'...
It's a well-known fact that pitching an idea to funding bodies or production companies can be very intimidating. To guide film practitioners through the process of pitching, from emerging talents to established auteurs, the Pitch Clinic's panel of industry experts will assess five shortlisted pitches and give feedback.
If you've got an idea for a film project, we encourage you to submit a one page outline to the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre at Victoria University, email: ESP@vu.edu.au
Wednesday, May 23
6pm to 7.30pm
