WELCOME TO
The Blue Heeler Film Festival
The 9th Annual Blue Heeler Film Festival is back for 2022! 

We are excited to announce that we are back for 2022 and entries are FREE.

Our theme for 2022 is 'Working Dogs' in the context of a dog used to perform practical tasks, as opposed to pet or companion dogs.

Filmmakers are welcome to interpret this theme as symbolically or conceptually as they see fit!

Films can be any genre but must be family friendly and under 7 minutes and made in Australia.

We love to see films with regional themes or films made in regional NSW. 

Submit your short films at the link below:

We can't wait to see what Aussie filmmakers pull off in 2022.
