Directors Justin Kurzel and Leah Purcell were among the judges for this year’s Very Short Film festival: a platform for young and emerging film-makers, which is open to any film from two-to-five minutes long.
Announced on Friday, the winner of this year’s open category is Mark Bernard, a Melbourne-based self-taught artist who responded to the 2022 theme of ‘spring’ with New Life, an animation telling the story of a young war refugee, who rebuilds after trauma – and eventually finds peace.
