Championing the festival is Festival Director Suki Foster, “This year’s entries were the highest standard we’ve ever had
and judging was incredibly difficult. Our judges this year are all very successful in their own expertise within the
film industry and they all acknowledged the extremely high standard of filmmaking and the obvious passion of the
filmmakers.”
Finalists are now able to raise their overall score through public voting which will count as a percentage towards the
overall score. The purpose of the public voting is to ensure that filmmakers are able to spread their awareness messages
far and wide. Voting can be done through before 6 March www.causefilmfestival.org/2018films
The fun-filled and glamorous Festival Awards Night on 8th March 2018 at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta provides the public a showcase of the films and the opportunity to learn about the force of good in the world as the
awards are handed out. There will be film related speakers and an opportunity to meet the filmmakers after the awards
