THE ICONIC FILM FESTIVAL MAKES ITS TRIUMPHANT RETURN AFTER SEVEN YEARS

- 

Oscar-nominated Aussie actress and producer Margot Robbie has been announced as jury president of popular Australian short-film festival Tropfest, as it makes its long-awaited return in 2026.

In a return to the festival's roots, filmmakers must create a brand-new short film of seven minutes or less that incorporates the Tropfest Signature Item (TSI). In 2026, the TSI is “hourglass”.
