NATIONAL WOOL MUSEUM Scarf Festival 2015 Scarf Festival: 5 June – 2 August 2015 Coastlines: A great and terrible beauty, where the land meets the sea. No single perimeter measures it or defines it. Forever changing, a fractal paradox, ill‐defined in length and where precise lines cannot be determined. Coastlines are the epicentre of environmental issues and landscapes unto themselves; like a scarf, each with its own inherent personality and its own story to tell. What direction will you take? All entrants will be in the running for the coveted 2015 Scarf of the Year award, as well as other category awards including Use of Colour, 100% Wool and Thematic. We are accepting entry forms and payment online ‐ (scarves still need to be delivered to us). To enter your scarf online visit our website. Alternatively you can print and download an entry form from our website.
http://www.geelongaustralia.com.au/events/item/8cfa6790ec73f1f.aspx Please visit our website for the guidelines and conditions of entry for this year’s festival. Good luck! We look forward to sharing your creation.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES Attention Film‐makers! Open Channel is Victoria's Screen Resource Centre and is a non‐profit organisation. We support a diverse and innovative screen industry by providing training and professional development, production initiatives and support. Open Channel acknowledges the financial assistance of Screen Australia and Film Victoria. We have been working across Regional Victoria to conduct customised filmmaker training and production workshops with our Mobile Training Unit, taught by leading Victorian filmmakers. We notice that the Victorian Government Putting Locals First grants program closes 30 June 2015, and believe that our filmmaking programs can help to address some of the priorities of this fund, such as: • increased employment opportunities, developing skills in digital content creation for young people or export businesses such as local tourism • improved community connections, using the medium of video to connect people and places • communities taking action on their own behalf, using video as an online advocacy tool and a local voice We welcome your call if you would like to talk about the possibility of working with Open Channel to deliver a filmmaker training program in your local area.
