MFF21 screening in Denmark
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.
Saturday 19 + Sunday 20 November, Denmark Arts
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.
In July 2017, Maker & Smith was founded by Mary Ellen Cliff and Carola Akindele-Obe. Their primary objective was to fulfil their strong desire to elevate the professional craft industry in Western Australia. Maker & Smith operates on a volunteer basis and aims for self-sustainability without compromising standards. We rely on partnerships and pay fair fees to skilled artisans and designer-makers who participate in our programs.
