Dreamed up in 2013,  GOFF is a live mixtape of feminism, film and parties, and it is returning for its second year! It will be held in Brunswick, Melbourne from the 23rd to the 25th of October 2015.

More slumber party than competition, more mixtape than jury selection, more laid back than prestigious, and a rockin' good time for feminists who love to watch movies, GOFF is like nothing else on Melbourne's movie scene. Created for movie lovers tired of seeing films made by and about men, GOFF is your chance to watch movies chosen by feminists, made by feminists, with a bunch of other feminists, and feel the excitement that comes from seeing the stories of women and girls taken seriously, made with love and demonstrating their humour, solidarity and power.

In 2014, the dream came to life with the inaugural Girls On Film Festival, and lo and behold, it was a roaring success! We screened a program of incredible movies - underrated gems, cult classics and beloved feminist favourites - with special introductions, panels and conversations between sessions, as well as a party every night and performances peppered throughout. Inspired by our love of Riot Grrrl culture, GOFF14 wasn't just about movies, but also included a zine program, live music performances, poetry, activism, badges, and a DIY ethic.

And this year we're gonna do it all again – BIGGER and BETTER! It's gonna be a helluva three-day party where you can meet other feminists, activists and fans in a space created just for you.


How The Funds Will Be Used

It costs a lot to throw the best party of the year! In 2014 we covered our costs, but to do it all again this year, we do need your help. Below is a breakdown of our primary expenses.

Po
zible fees, transaction fees, credit card fees: $1,500

Reward costs, including materials and manufacturing costs for merch: $1,000

Venue and bar for three days: $4,000

Equipment - screens, projector, projectionist, microphones, sound system: $2,500

Film rights: $4,000

Design, website construction and hosting, printing, marketing and advertising: $2,000

Of course, it will take more than just this to bring the festival to life. But if we meet our target you’ll be helping us jump the biggest hurdle, and helping us bring you the biggest babefest this town has ever seen. And this year, we've got lots of surprises up our sleeves.

The Challenges

This year GOFF is going to be bigger, better and more badass! The challenge will be to top the runaway success of last year's festival, which is no mean feat since the inaugural GOFF14 went above and beyond to show feminist film fans a ripper time! This year we have a larger dream team, a fancy new venue and more incredible films in the program. This all takes more money and more elbow grease, but it's totally worth it to see more girls up there on the big screen.
