We are expanding the program and welcoming local students and film-makers to enter the Harmony
Short-Film Competition. This unique opportunity aims to promote local film makers and stimulate
interest in creative film making in Western Australia. There are prizes for first, second and third
places, kindly sponsored by FTI, STA Travel and Garden City.
Winners will be acknowledged at the opening night on Monday 19 March and their awarded works will
be screened during the festival.
We are looking for films that relate to the theme "Harmony" in its broadest sense. Each
short film must be no longer than 7 minutes including titles and credits and must be in English
or have English subtitles.
Entry is free and open now. All works must be submitted on VHS or DVD by Friday 3 February 2007.
All short listed entrants will be notified by email or post. For further enquiries contact Lucy

Harmony Week 2006

The films were carefully selected to provoke dialogue and thoughts on racism, racial discrimination,
xenophobia and related intolerance. I am pleased that we were able to get a good number of staff,
