MFF July screenings in Alice Springs & Cowra
Our short film festival all about craft and making is touring the country!
This collection of films focuses on how we employ the dexterity of our hands to create functional objects, art and to tell the stories of our lives.
Monday 18 July, Araluen Arts Centre, Alice Springs, NT
Friday 22 July, Cowra Regional Art Gallery, NSW
The selection of 24 films encompasses a broad range of craft, design and making disciplines presented in mini documentaries, story-led artist profiles to ingenious animations and music video.
Selected from near and far, the films spotlight the everyday habits and skills of ‘makers and smiths’, they reveal what drives enduring professional practice, and illustrate a diversity in film-making creativity as much as the traditional and contemporary craft approaches.
Disciplines and techniques include:
Basketry, Ceramic Art + Pottery, Costume Design + Making, Fibre Art, Glassmaking, Jewellery + Metalsmithing, Pearl Carving, Puppet Making, Screen + Block Printing, Sound Design + Making, Stop Motion Animation, Textiles, Weaving, and Zoetropes.

Submit your film for the next Makers’ Film Festival in 2023.
The Makers’ Film Festival 2021 was developed for ‘IOTA21: Indian Ocean Craft Triennial’, supported by Lotterywest and the WA Maritime Museum.
Maker&Smith acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land where we operate, the Nyoongar people, in particular the Whadjuk and Mineng peoples. We respect their culture and the continuing contribution they make to the life of this region.
