2021
For the 13th consecutive year NOVA Employment presents the Focus on Ability Short Film Festival. This festival asks film makers to 'Focus on the Ability' of people with a disability and tell a story on film for the world to view. Despite all the challenges we faced in 2020 our film makers continued the push and we had an amazing 267 entries. This has laid the foundations for a 2021 festival which is set to be the biggest yet, and our generous sponsors have donated over $100,000 worth of cash and prizes to encourage film makers and people with disability to tell their stories.Entries for the 2021 festival close July 30.
