Emerging and professional film makers of all ages are being invited to showcase their talents and have their story seen by a wide audience as part of the 2022 Multicultural Film Festival.
The festival explores the lives of Victoria’s multicultural communities through original short films. Submissions from those with multicultural backgrounds are encouraged, as well as those from filmmakers of any background who produce films that promote social cohesion.
For the first time, the main competition is open to those under 18 years of age, with a new young filmmaker award. In categories for those aged four to 11 and 12 to 17 years old, children can enter individually, with friends or as part of their school, an official press release said.
Another exciting addition is a new chairperson’s choice award, chosen by Victorian Multicultural Commission Chairperson Vivienne Nguyen for the film that best addresses racism, multiculturalism, faith or social cohesion, or is about a Victorian subject or location.
Other awards will be given to the best short fiction film, short non-fiction film, open category film and emerging filmmaker.
Shortlisted films will be screened at the Multicultural Film Festival in Melbourne in late August 2022, where the winners will be announced. Prizes include priceless mentoring and networking opportunities with industry leaders and the opportunity for films to be screened at events across Victoria.
Now in its fourth year, the festival is run by the Victorian Multicultural Commission in partnership with Swinburne University of Technology and is proudly Australia’s only multicultural film festival.

Submissions are open until Monday 20 June.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
