The New Normal International Film Festival is an online festival run by media students from 'The Festival Experience' studio led by Cerise Howard based at RMIT University in Naarm/Melbourne Australia. The festival has arisen in response to the unprecedented times we currently find ourselves in. At a time of vast social isolation we aim to keep the spirit of cinema alive fostering a sense of community and celebration in filmmakers and lovers worldwide. Through a livestream of short and selected feature films and engagement with the filmmaking community we seek to explore the concept of the 'New Normal' aiming to discuss what we consider as 'normal' both in the past and present whilst looking to a possible shared future. Films are to be submitted via FilmFreeway by May 25. We will be live-streaming on our website and on YouTube Facebook and Twitch simultaneously through the use of Streamlabs OBS.
