Every year we play over 100+ films at the Heart of Gold flagship festival, and a selection will go on tour playing at other events across Queensland. To have your film considered for selection, enter it via FilmFreeway using the button below.

All films play in competition for a range of prizes, including Best International Film, Best Australian Film, Best Student Film, and many more craft prizes.

Films must be under 28 minutes and appropriate to the Heart of Gold ethos.
