Tropfest Locked in for 2009
The future of the Canberra screening of Sony Tropfest has been secured following sponsorship support from TransACT, Independent Property Group and the Australian National University, together with ongoing support from media partners FM104.7 and WIN Television.
“The Generosity of the local sponsors who have rallied to support Tropfest’s ongoing screening in Canberra has been tremendous” said John Polson, Founder and Creative Director of Tropfest.
The Canberra screening of Tropfest has been run by the NCA since 2002; and for the last four years Canberra has hosted the largest Australian audience outside Sydney with crowds of up to 20,000 people; beating even Melbourne and Brisbane.
Polson went on to say that as a spring board for local talent Tropfest plays “a vital role in nurturing, developing and supporting emerging film-makers – in the past year alone there has been an overwhelming increase of over 100 percent in the number of entries from Canberra”.
The 2009 screening on Sunday 15 February be will be held at Stage 88 in Commonwealth Park. It will be managed by an external consultant.
