In an initiative to promote junior football in the state, clubs were challenged to produce a three-minute video about their club history, achievements and characters.
Evandale Football Club’s video It’s More Than Football, told the story of the club’s first youth girls team in the NTJFA competition.
Hawthorn Football Club partnered with BOFA to present the award with Hawthorn state operations manager David Cox presenting the club with $4000.
Other awards presented at BOFA’s short film competition included:
- The Crossing, directed by Marieka Walsh, of NSW, awarded the BOFA Devil Aussie Award for an Australian short film of 15 minutes or less.
- Doing is Scared, by Matt Newton and Catherine Pettman, awarded the BOFA Devil Tassie Award for best Tasmanian short film. The film tells the story of a British climber Paul Pritchard who after a serious fall climbing the iconic Totem Pole in 1998 and with a permanent disability, returns 18 years later to complete the climb.
- The Edge of the World, by Simon Treweek, awarded first place in the Parks & Wildlife Short Film Competition “A Place to Connect” which celebrates 100 years of National Parks in Tasmania.
BOFA Festival director Owen Tilbury said that the short film competitions were an important way for BOFA to foster film making in Tasmania.
“The high standard of entries in all competitions this year reinforces that there is an abundance of creativity and film making potential in the Tasmanian community.”
The four-day 2016 BOFA Festival finishes at Launceston’s Inveresk precinct on Sunday.
