Welcome to Colortape International Film Festival's 2017/2018 Official Awards
& Nominees list! (this is a temp mirror site)
We joyfully announce that the 2017-2018 competition season is now closed. Therefore the 2018-2019 season is open.
2017-2018 Season Winner is the short film, "The Inner Inside" directed by D Reich
Please note that our competitive seasons runs like the Australia's Financial (Fiscal) Year from 1st July-30th June the following year. The entries received were of high quality which made it very difficult for our judges to choose from. Some varied from small production ran by solo filmmakers to large budgets productions. Scripts from 20 to 200pages. Every single one was judged on its merit in its own category. The quality of films and the filmmakers are getting better and harder to choose from every year.
In 2017 we have received less than 450 high quality entries in mixed categories, much lower than entries received back in 2016/2017 season over 500 entries, and in 2015 when we have received close to 839 entries, in 2013-2014 season we have received over 730 entries. In 2013, we were overvehlmed, as we have received in excess of 880 submissions (large number of script), apparently still one of the largest film competition in the South-East Asia and Pacific region by the number of submissions. Significantly up from previous years. More than a third of the entries were not entered on film platforms such as FilmFreeway nor were Withoutabox submissions in a large percentage, actually more than half (1/2) were students or waved fee entries. The iPOD & iPhone vidlets represented the largest category. There were less than ten (20) Australian entries. So there should be no fear that the local competitors were priviledged in any way. Dear competitors PLEASE wait for your certifcates to be sent via surface mail by the end of April/May.
Please do not congest our email box with inquiries till you receive your certificates by end of July the latest. If you have not received one by July then YES please send us an email. Thank you for your understanding.

Dear participant just like in previous years we have asked filmmakers to help us through the social networks with our fundraising efforts to raise more prizes, unfortunately we have not achieved our goals yet. Many filmmakers did not rate or review our festval, nor left a comment on FilmFreeeway platform about our festival. Also we felt tht many did not promote or share our facebook link and most certainly have not shared within your circles of friends, family, and colleagues about your involvement with us. Magazine update: due to low number (2x) orders for hardcopy of the Colortape Film Magazine in which your work is featured, we have cancelled the printing and delivery of hardcopies. the minimum print run is 250 copies, unfortunately we have received ONLY 2 orders from filmmakers this year. All orders (payments) sent to us will be re-imbursed in the next 30 days. A cheque or paypal transfer will be made to your account by April. Sorry for the cinconvenience. you will still receive a softcopie in PDF format for FREE via email as soon as is ready by April. Since our web attack issue and affected communication on our servers we would not dare ask of you to give us a review on the FilmFreeway site. Hoping to improve our web site security for next season's entries
Special thanks goes to FilmFreeway for their fantastic service and web site, a truly professional platform aimed to help film festivals around the world! THANK YOU!
Important message about Screening of your films this year: Due to ongoing negotiations with venue operators (cinema and outdoor facilities), ongoing negotiation with the local shires & Councils, ongoing negotiations with insurance companies over public liability and indemnity covers, and more importantly ongoing negotiations with the Australian Justice Department over Classifications of your films (approval for screeining outdoor, in an uncontrolled environment) with many shires having many restrictions according to local shire laws we are still working on when, where and which films will be suited to be screened at any particular venue or event (eg: outdoor). Hence, no decission has been made yet. We will notify you once we know the details. It is possible that we may screen closer to the end of the year, as the weather currently is wet and cold in South East Queensland. A more suitable condition and time needs to be found too beside all the issues already mentioned.
Screening events, times and locations, dates etc will be updated closer to event screening dates and the information will be placed at www.colortapeinternational.com/event.htm
Due to hosting server issues (hack) PLEASE DO NOT click on any hyperlinks listed on this page as they may not work, please check again at later date hoping the web site has been repaired by then. We appologize for any inconvenience, site repairs are underway.
Special thanks goes to FilmFreeway for their fantastic web site, a truly professional platform aimed to help film festivals around the world! THANK YOU!
