THE CHOICES WE MAKE
With so many events and special occasions being cancelled or postponed, we’ve had to get creative and find other ways to bring you our 10th Anniversary BOFA Film Festival.
What better choice than to go high-tech and online around Australia? And our partners McArthur Financial and Cityprom agree!
So, here comes Australia’s major online film festival straight out of Tasmania. 19 films, 14 countries, 17 days.
Here’s a quick rundown of the four films from our Choices we Make section of BOFA that will be live from 1st May. That’s next Friday! Once we send you your free access code you can start watching one or many in any order. Your choice!
Want a good film?
You’re spoiled for choice
Watch films about people who are between the proverbial “rock and a hard place” and the choices they make.
Veins of the World looks at the traditional Mongolian lifestyle now under threat through gold-mining. When his father, who was leading the protest, dies, the young son has to make the decision of “what do I do now”? Loved The Story of the Weeping Camel? Don’t miss this.

SUPPORT THE ARTS
Australia’s cultural and creative sector is a $111.7bn industry: six times the size of the aviation industry. Most of Australia’s 50,000 practising professional artists and 600,000 creative industry workers will NOT be covered by stimulus measures announced to date, either because of their casual working arrangements, or because their employers’ complex cashflows render them ineligible to access workers’ support on their behalf.
So, if you enjoy the FREE BOFA online festival why not DONATE to artists and organisations that are battling through COVID-19.
