Congratulations to everyone in the 2020 Marathon line up! Please put your hands together for these 22 fantastic filmmakers and be sure to join us at the festival to help us cheer them on in person!

There’s nothing like the feeling you get when your film plays to a live audience! We love it and we love bringing that to Western Sydney filmmakers each year -- it’s what drives us!


Western Sydney films deserve to be seen on an international stage and we’re proud to be leading the way for that to happen.


TICKETS ARE OPEN NOW for the 2020 Made in the West MARATHON commencing 8pm on Saturday 21 November at Event Cinemas Liverpool.


The full Made in the West 2020 Online Film Festival program showcases ALL 28 short films made by local filmmakers from right across Western Sydney, from Constitution Hill to Casula, Harrington Park to Harris Park, and Blair Athol to Blacktown.


While the films differ in genre, they all share one thing in common: they each feature a cast member, crew member or location from Western Sydney. And we think that’s pretty fabulous!


Are you curious which films are screening at the 7pm VIP Premiere Awards Night? You can check out the Official Selection announcement for the full list!


Stay tuned right here for ticket information an more festival announcements coming soon! Or follow us on FB or Instagram if you prefer we deliver to your news feed.
