VOLUNTEERS
SWIFF is made possible by the many hands of wonderful volunteers from around the Coffs Coast and beyond. Without them, the festival would not be possible. Our sincere thanks to all for lending a hand to bring SWIFF’23 to the community, all for the love of the arts.
COMMUNITY MESSAGE
Thank you to our audiences. By attending, promoting, talking about, buying tickets to, advocating for, sharing, and championing SWIFF, you are building film and arts culture on the Coffs Coast. It takes a whole community to make a festival come to life. Our gratitude goes out to everyone who gave their patronage and connected with SWIFF’23. You’ve played a vital role in helping make SWIFF a one-of-a-kind festival.
GUMBAYNGGIRR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Screenwave International Film Festival would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the festival takes place, the people of the Gumbaynggirr Nation. We pay our respects to the original storytellers of this land and honour the Elders past, present, and emerging.
