Far South Film would like to thanks Lis Shelley for all her hard work as Festival Director for the Far South Film Festival over the last 5 years.

Lis guided the festival through some very tricky years, through multiple Covid lock downs and last minuet venue changes. Lis was able to deliver outstanding festivals whether online, hybrid online/live and live festivals.

But as one chapter for the FSFF closes another begins! We are so excited to announce our incoming Festival Director, Mahamati for our 6th festival, on 16th August.

Head here for more info and to submit a film -

Image description - there are 2 images of out going Director, Lis Shelley and incoming Director Mahamati. Both women are smiling and wearing glasses. Mahamati has curly gray short hair and Lis has strait hair pulled back into a pony tail. In one picture there is a vintage camera between them in the other they are holding a glass.
