Portable Film Festival

Sponsors

There's so much for the Portable Film Festival to love about Crumpler. Obviously there's the products and the mere fact it's Australian. But aside from that there's the way the company was built on finding solutions, has grown at its own pace and has a totally unique style.

There's so much to love about Coopers. Obviously there's the beer and the fact it's all Australian owned and grown! It is also Portable Film Festivals official beer sponsor for 2007 and if our events aren't already fantastic a cool Coopers beer makes it that little bit sweeter.

Eight Hotels Australia provides a range of luxury and boutique hotels in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. They are responsible for looking after Portable Film Festival staff and guests as they spread the Portable word around the country. What's not to love about that!

The world's first international youth creative festival, is about education, awareness and creative freedom. Submit your film, photo, fashion or music in one of the many competitions. We just love online festivals, creative ideas and innovative use of new technology - who doesn't?

Psst... Mr Moto is helping to spread the word of the Portable Film Festival on the streets of Melbourne...
