VCA Film and Television Pitch Nights return in 2025! Join us in Federation Hall on the Southbank Campus to hear from the next generation of creatives and jump on board their projects. With a broad slate of of genres, styles, and stories, there's a little something for everyone!

Our second pitch night of the year features Animation and Film and Television students graduating from our Undergraduate and Honours programs.Each director or animator will pitch their film to the audience and outline any cast, crew or post production roles they are looking to be filled. There will be a short interval in the middle of the pitches and time to mingle and connect with the VCA filmmakers once the pitches wrap up.
