Tropfest Falls on the Same Day as the BAFTAs This Year?🍍🎬

LIVE: Tropfest 2026
The World's Largest Short Film Festival

This could be a long day if you live in Australia, like I do.

BAFTA Film Awards 2026

I can't wait ... but I am:-)

One hour to go for the start of Tropfest.

I only found out about Tropfest happening today, today.

Apparently, Margot Robbie is going to be one of the Tropfest judges tonight?

Looks like Tropfest has hit some new heights this year;-)

Wuthering Heights (2026)

Coincidence?

The Wuthering Heights of Ferris Wheel Day? 💘🎡🃏

Update: February 22nd, 2026

Tropfest 2026 winner

I'm glad to see the film that deserved to win actually won on the night, so let's hope the BAFTAs and Oscars vote as fair as the Tropfest judges did this year.

I liked this (AI generated?) finalist above, which seemed to take the piss out of the festival:-)
