The WA Government and Revelation Perth International Film Festival have teamed up to
present the successful ‘Life in Pictures’ short film competition.
Filmmakers of all ages and skill levels across Western Australia are encouraged to submit
films up to three minutes in length that promote age-positive messages or explore the topic
of ageism.
Ageism refers to stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination directed towards people based
on their age. Entries are open until Friday June 14, 2024 for filmmakers in the following categories:
• 17 years old or under;
• 18-59 years old; and
• 60 years old and over.
Five films from each category will be shortlisted with a film screening event to be held in early
July 2024 to announce the finalists and winners.
Revelation Perth International Film Festival will also hold workshops in April and May across
the Perth Metropolitan Region to provide filmmaking tips and tricks for success in the
competition.
The competition is one of the ways the Cook Government is delivering on actions set out in
An Age-Friendly WA: State Seniors Strategy 2023-2033. The project supports the action by
delivering an innovative approach to raising awareness about ageism in WA.
The purpose of the competition is to creatively engage the community in discussions about
ageing, what it means to age, and to challenge ageist attitudes.
