About the festival
PIFF 2011 is a new and exciting film festival based in Melbourne, Australia.
Entrants in the festival are given a piece of modern poetry. From there they are free to interpret the poem in the form of a 4-7 min short film however they see fit. Make it funny, serious, scary – it’s up to you.
You don’t need to include the lines of the poem in your film, interpret it however you want.
