SmartFone Flick Fest is Australia’s international smartphone film festival for filmmakers of all ages. All you need is a phone or a tablet and a good story.

Entries close for this year’s festival on midnight Saturday 1 August.

Today we meet co-founder Angela Blake who’ll talk us through all the categories and prizes. This year they have added a new Iso category (3 mins max) for stories shot within local lockdown laws. Other categories include short films (20 mins max), feature films, VR & 360 films and SF3 Kids.

Also Deputy Lord Mayor of Sydney, Jess Scully joins us to talk about public art in Sydney.
