THE AUSTRALIAN SHORT FILM TODAY AWARD

 

Australian Short Film Today (ASFT) is an international traveling roadshow demonstrating the talent of Australian filmmakers. The ASFT’s program is screened in four cities in the United States and four cities in Europe where the audience votes for the best short film.

 


 

THE NICOLAS BAUDIN PRIZE

 

Created as part of the celebrations of the bicentenary of the discovery of the Southern Lands by Captain Nicolas Baudin, the Nicolas Baudin Prize rewards an Australian or New Zealand short film. This year, it will be awarded by a jury made up of students from the Saint-Tropez region's high schools, among which the Lycée du Golfe de Saint-Tropez. One or several "chaperone(s)" - film and television industry professionals - will guide them. On the one hand, it is a fantastic opportunity for these young people to have an in-depth look at the work of aspiring directors, on the other hand, the perception of their films by a young audience is an interesting feedback for the Antipodean filmmakers themselves.

 


 

THE 2021 EXHIBITIONS

Badu Island, An expedition travelogue, photographs

 


expo badu island

True to the spirit of the historic expeditions of his great-great-grandfather Prince Albert I, H.S.H. Prince Albert II has relaunched the Explorations de Monaco. It is in this context that he visited Badu, one of the islands of the Torres Strait, in the state of Queensland (northern Australia). While there, H.S.H. Prince Albert II immersed himself in the culture of the islanders, who advocate a balanced and respectful relationship between man and nature. Accompanied in particular by Robert Calcagno, Director General of the Oceanographic Institute, he drew great inspiration from this culture. The exhibition presented here is the memory of this: it also evokes the memory of a first meeting on Monegasque soil..

The Secrets of "The Big Kitty", photographs

Introduced by Tom Alberts & Lisa Barmby

 


expo the big kitty

It took Tom and Lisa almost 12 years to make the film "The Big Kitty". A black and white film, a parodic and jubilant homage to the American film noirs of the forties, from "The Big Sleep" to "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca". To do this, they had to recreate everything from costumes to sets, including newspapers, wine bottles and road signs. It is a part of this gigantic meticulous and precise work that you will discover through this photographic exhibition.
