Our Festival Of Films was established to raise awareness of the issue of cyberbullying, and to assist high schools to identify and address bullying behaviours. The 2016 theme was ‘Cyberbullying – the effect and how we solve it’. Seven finalists, from a mix of regional and city schools, created films that captured the impact bullying has on our society and helped spread the message that bullying is never okay.

In 2017, the theme of the competition was ‘Respect for self. Respect for others. Responsibility for your actions’. More than 3000 students submitted entries, with the winner and regional finalists crowned at an awards ceremony at The Concourse in Chatswood on March 17, 2017.
