Four short films, one moment in time
'Now is the time to amplify new Jewish Australian voices who are using the medium of cinema to capture both an individual and collective response to the events we are living through'
What does life in Australia look like post-October 7? Four short films, to be screened at this year’s Jewish International Film Festival, explore this very topic.
In April this year, it was announced that the 2025 Short Film Fund would be awarding the largest grant pool in the program’s history since its establishment in 2017.
In partnership with the Jewish Australian Screen Fund (JASF), a total of $30,000 was distributed to support new short narrative works centred around the theme “post-October 7 life in Australia”.
At the time, JASF director Jamie Bialkower said that the Fund was “inspired by the diversity of applications and the bold ways in which filmmakers have chosen to interpret the theme”.
“Now is the time to amplify new Jewish Australian voices who are using the medium of cinema to capture both an individual and collective response to the events we are living through,” he said.
