Update your phones and charge your tablets, because Smartfone Flick Fest (SF3) showcases films entirely shot on your everyday devices.

Each year, the short film festival receives entries from all over Australia and the world. There are categories for all ages and skill sets, so as long as long as you’ve got a phone, you’ve got a chance. All finalists will have their films screened at the Gala Final Awards Screening at Paddington’s Palace Chauvel Cinema in August.

For the first time, this year’s winner will also have their film screened at next year’s Global Mobile Film Awards in San Diego, an international festival that celebrates phone and tablet produced short films.

Submissions can be sent through SF3’s website. Applications close on August 1.
