Films should range in length from 90 seconds to 20 minutes and tell a human story, be visually impactful and have a people element. (Personal flight recordings won’t be accepted!) The objective is to showcase our sport to the non-flying public – hopefully around Australia. Think of this as the paragliding/hang gliding film equivalent of the Banff Film Festival or Adventure Reels . Film ideas already earmarked include: Flying with disabled people and flying with dog. What’s yours? The final compilation will be available for screenings by SAFA clubs for their members – and if of good quality, will ultimately be available online for the wider public. Running in parallel is a competition for photos to help promote the above. How to enter: Contact secretary@centralcoastskysurfers.com to register your video idea and for upload instructions for judging. Final film submission date: 30 September 2021. Conditions: Judges comprise the committee of the CCSS. Decisions are final. By entering, you agree for the CCSS to show your photo or video publicly and be posted online. Prizes: Offers of prizes for awards are still welcomed.
