Festival Director Richard Sowada says he is loving the selection for the event.
“It’s got everything and has been enormously enjoyable to bring together at every turn,” he says.
“To be working with films and filmmakers of this calibre, alongside brilliant discoveries from our international call is a great pleasure and honour.
“What is most gratifying though, is seeing a complete shift in the way the industry is working with each other to get these important films and voices out in a way they haven’t for a very long time…. there’s a different sense of what the business actually is.”
Program Director Jack Sargeant says he is proud of the program.
“I think we have a great selection of titles here, from some strong, familiar indie voices to first time filmmakers.
“Revelation has always been about finding new ways to share works we think are important, and Couched extends that across the country, and in some cases the world. I’m proud of what we’ve done here.”
Films will be available for rent for a 24 hour period through the festival and passes are on sale now.
