QLD TOURING FILM FESTIVAL (QTFF) is the latest venture from Australia's
premier touring short film festival, In The Bin.
From September 2013 - March 2014, QTFF will tour the State, lifting the spirits of
flood-affected communities across Queensland after a tough year, through the joy
and magic of film.
The festival program spans five days in each community, inviting schools,
businesses and the general public to take part in film workshops and events
designed to educate and entertain.
Rural and regional QLD communities will benefit from learning, experiencing, and
enjoying film, because opportunities for developing visual arts in Australia are not
just confined to the big lights and big dollars of the capital cities.
