DocPlay has added to its June slate the premiere of six short films it says “span a remarkable diversity of stories and experiences that are uniquely Australian”.
They were made by post-graduates from the Australian Film Television and Radio School.
“As Australia’s only dedicated documentary streaming service, DocPlay is thrilled to partner with AFTRS in bringing this collection of entertaining and informative short-form documentaries to Australian audiences,” Rufus Richardson, DocPlay executive, says.
“The quality of emerging talent in this showcase stood out to us from the start, and the filmmakers have explored a diverse range of topics and issues with empathy, compassion and insight.”
