The GSEFF is an out­let for lo­cal film­mak­ers, with a fo­cus on en­vi­ron­men­tal­ly themed sto­ry­telling.

An in­te­gral part of the fes­ti­val is the Very Short Shorts Mo­bile Film Com­pe­ti­tion, which chal­lenges them to tell their sto­ries, us­ing mo­bile de­vices, in one-minute seg­ments.

This year’s fes­ti­val theme of “Tran­si­tion” is a way to bring fo­cus to the choic­es we face in an evolv­ing world, to mak­ing a more sus­tain­able fu­ture.

Fes­ti­val Di­rec­tor Carv­er Bac­chus stat­ed, “We’re very much at a cross­roads and need to get to the oth­er side of a de­vel­op­ment thresh­old. We un­der­stand that there is work to do to be­come more sus­tain­able as in­di­vid­u­als, house­holds, or­ga­ni­za­tions and as a coun­try, and it will take time. But, we must Tran­si­tion and need to be put in the work now to en­sure en­er­gy se­cu­ri­ty in the long term, for ex­am­ple. This idea, fo­cussing on the spe­cif­ic SDGs, is where we want to fo­cus au­di­ence at­ten­tion this year.”
