HAVE A GO AT MAKING – 2 MINUTE IN 3 DAYS SEPTEMBER 2020
Every year, the Mud and Saltwater Short Film Fest challenges filmmakers across the Kimberley, experienced and inexperienced, to tell a filmic story in 2 minutes over 3 days. The judges Paul Bell (Feral Films), Mark Jones (Mark Jones Films) and Neil Turner (PAKAM) selected ‘Where’s ya bin’ as the Best Film and ‘Stay’ Best Film from an Emerging Filmmaker. Every film entered showed innovation, cleverness and brevity – bravo bravo.
The short films were screened at Matso’s on September 6th 2020 to a large enthusiastic audience. Thanks to filmmakers and crews and Matsos for hosting the screening, PAKAM for the screen and projector, Paul Bell for projection and judging along with Neil Turner and Mark Jones. Filmmakers can submit their films in the Mud and Saltwater Short Film Fest early June 2021 and can improve them with the 
feedback from the judges and audience.
Thanks to our sponsors, Rangelands NRM with support from the Federal Government Landcare Program, Inspiring Australia, Sobrane Gallery, Cygnet Bay Pearls and Broome Whale Watching.

The 2 Minute Film in 3 Days event runs Saturday, Sunday & Monday (5-7th Sept 2020), with a free screening of the films on Monday 7th Sept at Matso’s at 7pm. On the Saturday and Sunday (5-6th Sept) filmmakers can call on the Mud and Saltwater Film Fest judges Paul Bell and Mark Jones for filmmaking help, then on Monday, filmmakers can go to Pilbara and Kimberley Aboriginal Media (PAKAM) for post-production help if needed. You will need your own filmmaking equipment, however if you require a computer to edit your film, computers are available with professional filmmaking software at PAKAM on Monday 7th Sept, 2020. This is a great opportunity to make a short film for the 2021 Mud and Saltwater Short Film Fest, with plenty of time after the 2 Minute Film event to further improve your film.
