Pigdon Street International Film Festival

A few years ago, group of friends and film lovers banded together in the city's inner northern suburbs, projecting their short films, documentaries and audio-visual art guerilla-style throughout the suburbs. Vacant lots, blank alley walls and bedsheets in backyards served as the silver screens for the first-ever Pigdon Street International Film Festival.

The Festival has blossomed since these humble beginnings, moving to private screening venues and showcasing art and film from countries around the world to it's dedicated Melbourne fanbase.

The Pigdon Street International Film Festival, or 'PigStreetFest' as it has become commonly known in the local scene, remains both a bright reminder of Melbourne's cultural hubs and a contributing factor to Melbourne's reputation as one of the world's flashpoints for new film, comedy and live performance.

Awards will include certificates and statuettes, digital laurels for filmmakers to advertise their selection by the festival, treats, and exclusive online distribution deals. In addition, category winners will be able to present their films to the festival audience personally if they so choose.
