Tropfest 2007


Its come a long way since they closed the street outside the Tropicana Cafe and put on a few short films!! John Polson continues to foster young talent with hundreds of entrants narrowed to 12-16 finalists for the show in the Domain in Sydney every February [still broadcast in other capital and regional centres and now taking on the legendary Tribeca Film Festival in New York].

This year "An Imaginary Life" wins the top award and prizes!! A story about a forgotten imaginary friend and the first animated film to win!!

You can see the films on the website, some will come to mobile phones this year and next Saturday they'll give away 600,000 copies with the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age... later Sanity will stock a DVD...

They are great as group starters, discussion prompts, wallpaper for other events and very ocassionally exceptional for youth issues or life!!
