Don’t miss your opportunity to get involved in the Blue Heeler Film Festival in 2017.

The annual event will return in the September school holidays.

And, those interested in entering the short film competition can begin planning their contribution.

Muswellbrook Shire Council has revealed the theme for this year’s event – ROCK.

The theme is open to interpretation by entrants, who must incorporate it in their film somehow.

The Blue Heeler Film Festival is a fun way for the community to get together and celebrate Hunter cinematography.

It also allows people to showcase their skills to an enthusiastic audience.

Film entries must have a duration between one and seven minutes, including titles and credits.

Residents from the Muswellbrook, Singleton, Dungog and Upper Hunter shires are eligible to enter, as are those from the City of Cessnock.

Entries close Monday, July 31, 2017.
