	Sleepy Brain: Biomorphic Horror » Tropfest: The Future of Australian Filmmaking is…Shit? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		On April 7 Channel Nine, accompanied by the still-infuriating-after-all-these-years Richard Wilkins, screened the films from the finals of the Sony Tropfest 2007 short-film festival, which was held on February 18.
		Tropfest purports to showcase the work of ‘Australia’s emerging filmmakers’ and there’s a big focus on numbers (it’s touted as the ‘world’s biggest short-film festival’;, with a live audience of 100,000) but, as far as I can see, not so much attention to quality.
		The Tropfest ’signature item’ — where each entry must feature an action or object chosen by the organisers — always makes for the most embarrassing moments each year the festival is held.

		Tropfest: Patrick: I suppose it came out of the frustration of the Olympics and seeing as around that time, the torch relay was all over the media and papers and it was a counter reaction against that, fl comedy is all about finding humour in serious subject matters
		Tropfest: Patrick: That was shot, obviously a film being set in a car we had the exterior shots of a car travelling so we shot those on the first night and then the following day we moved into the studio and we used a new Sony projector, it's one of the brightest on the market.
		Tropfest: No, Frank was a friend of the production manager and frank just invited us in for a beer at his house so it was very cheap laughs he had a look at the script, liked it and was more than happy to spend half a day with us which was very generous

		In 1998 it was a kiss and in 1999 it is a pair of chopsticks.
		The Tropfest finalists are being brought to New York by The Australia Company, a group "set up to produce Australian art in New York," according to board member Heathe St. Clair, with whom indieWIRE spoke on Wednesday.
		Clair came to Tropfest when he was in the winning film of the 1994 edition, but has not been in a winner since, and notes that with increased submissions, it is "increasingly difficult to get into the competition." The goal is to have Tropfest '99 films screened in New York live via satellite in February.

	WENDY DENT Independent films; review of Tropfest 2005
		And thirdly celebrities and film directors weren’t the only people competing for the microphone; As the launch began, an amorous and intoxicated audience member jumped the stage to steal the mike from John Polson and steal an opportunity with 130,000 people watching to proclaim his love and propose marriage to his girlfriend.
		Bomb opened Tropfest with a bang, showing the plight of a man mistaken for a terrorist (again enough to spark political debate, a good laugh and a unsavoury sense that something is wrong with the world).
		In one of the few Tropfest films without casualties, this romantic comedy delicately unfolds with a quiet confidence; an elderly European man and elderly Japanese woman pass the time as she sits at a park bench under her parasol.
