Bondi Pavillion to see the latest creations from budding auteurs, Hitchcocks, Speilbergs and Tarintinos.
The festival is non-thematic and open to the filmmaker's discretion, allowing for a melting pot of ideas from drama, comedy, documentary to animation.
Francis Coady established the unrestricted festival in 2001 as a favour to friends who had missed out on entering Sydney festivals due to previously screening in other Australian states.
