New Caledonia Film Festival

New Caledonia Short Film Festival 

Each year, on the 24th of September, New Caledonia celebrates its « Citizenship Day », la Journée de la Citoyenneté. This occasion is to honour New Caledonia’s special identity, diverse cultures and peoples. This year New Caledonia’s Citizenship Day will also be marked in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, with a Festival of short-films made by New Caledonian directors. It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 1st edition of the Festival sponsored by the New Caledonian Delegation in Australia and held in Brisbane (at QAGOMA), Canberra (Alliance française), Adelaide (Alliance française) and Perth (Alliance française).
