After nine years the Festival has become a Canberra landmark, and the city’s premiere cinema event. The Canberra International Film Festival has always looked to the future. And as we look forward to the tenth festival in 2006 it is exciting to know that next year the festival will hopefully be presented in the new Dendy Films/Electric Shadows Cinema complex in Bunda Street. The film and television landscape in Canberra has undergone considerable change in the past ten years, and it is pleasing to know that the Festival has been a significant partner in propelling that change. Along with our sister festival, the Canberra Short Film Festival, we have helped raise the profile of quality cinema and filmmaking. We have dared our local filmmakers to dream. A short while ago, local filmmaker Duane Fogwell had a sell out season here at Electric Shadows for his short film, The Milkman. Such an event would have been unheard of ten years ago. But we believe that it is a sign of things to come. This year’s festival is our biggest so far with 24 films from 16 countries, 11 of which are Australian Premieres.
