Call for Entries
Thought your chance to enter the fest was done and dusted? Well, as a demonstration of the kindness of heart from all of us here at Rev, there is one final chance to enter through our extended deadline. You’ve got until 20 April to get your film to us so don’t phaff around – just send it. . . And the sooner the better – we’re in active programming mode.
RevStream
We’ve got a full slate of new additions right through until July, but for April, we’re presenting you with a five new titles for your viewing pleasure.
Right off the bat, we’ve got three great recent Australian features – the great indie hit 'Hot Mess', the excellent thriller starring Hugo Weaving, 'Lone Wolf', and the astonishing examination of gender identity with the unique 'The Five Provocations'.
From our international friends, we have two sparkling docs – the wonderful portrait 'Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story' and the forever unusual 'Vore King' which explores the world of Vorarephilla – a sexual fetish where arousal is brought about by the act of one creature consuming another. . . I know right? Anyway, you’ll find that curio on RevStream.
Containing hundreds of local and international feature and short films, RevStream is WA’s own streaming service, unique in the world with any film festival. Take a look at the complete catalogue on our website.
Made In WA
. . . And don’t forget our Made In WA category of RevStream! We’ve currently got more than 100 locally produced films on offer. If you want us to platform your film, we’d love to, it’s free to be part of. So get in touch and we’ll get it up and running.
XR:WA
Our four-day exploration of all things immersive and games is just around the corner so if you’ve got a computer or table-top game, or VR or AR project you’d like to exhibit, drop us a line and we’ll drop it straight in. Taking place at the State Library of WA and the WA Museum Boola Bardip, admission is free for industry and public and if you want to exhibit your work, that’s also free. If you want to present your project or business to an audience hungry for it, guess what – that’s also free, but spaces are limited. Our full programme of talks, workshops and exhibits will be released in June but we’ll say right now there’s more than 30 games, 20 VR works and 20 AR works being exhibited. Dates are 20-23 July. Find out more from our website.
