GOFF mix tape

The film program, Magic Tickets, and last days!

Greetings and salutations, GOFFsters! In case you hadn’t heard, today’s a big day: we’ve announced the full line-up of films for GOFF! You can check out the program right here on the web site, and you can also watch the amazing GOFF trailer, cut together by the amazing Rohan Spong:

Now you know what films are on offer, it seems a good time to explain exactly how the GOFF Magic Ticket reward will work. Once the Pozible campaign is over, we’ll contact all supporters who selected a Magic Ticket reward (the $25 and $75 tiers) and ask them to nominate a first, second and third choice of session. Magic Ticket holders can nominate any session (including Girl Germs!) except for the Opening Night Party, which is not included in the Magic Ticket. (You can get a ticket with the $50 or $100 rewards, or with any reward that includes a Golden GOFF ticket!) We’ll then allocate the 20 Magic Tickets for each session based on when supporters pledged to the campaign, so the early birds get in first.

Of course everyone will get a chance to buy tickets when they go on general sale! For most sessions tickets will be $18 full and $15 concession, but regular ticket holders won’t get the Pozible supporter VIP treatment, or any of the Pozible exclusive merch!

If you pledge for multiple Magic Tickets, you’ll be able to nominate whether you want them all for the same session, or for separate sessions.

Of course we’re not quite finished with the campaign yet! We have just three days left (we finish at noon on Thursday!), and about $1,500 at the time of writing to go. If you’ve not yet pledged, we’d love to have you come on board the GOFF train before our deadline!

If you’ve already pledged, or you’re unable to, in these last days of the campaign it’s more important than ever to spread the word any way you can. The $12,000 target will ensure we can make the festival happen, but we’d love to exceed that goal so we can make GOFF the absolute best that it can be, by letting more people know about it and – if we raise enough money – implementing a Girl Gang discount and free ticket system that will make the festival accessible to an even wider audience.

So get out there, shout from the rooftops, sing “Nine to Five” to your coworkers, and set social media and email ablaze with The Word of GOFF!

Mini-Golf with GOFF!

As we head into the last few days of our Pozible campaign (which now has less than $2,000 to go), we’re excited to say that we have sold out of our $150 Golden GOFF reward! The Golden GOFF is an all-access ticket available only through the campaign which gets you into every event at GOFF this year, and 20 lucky people got in early enough to grab one for themselves.

While you can’t pick the Golden GOFF on its own any more, it is still available as part of many of our higher tier rewards:

  • For $250 – just $100 extra – you not only get a Golden GOFF ticket and all the merch that comes with it, but an exclusive feminist commentary track recorded by the GOFF team for the film of your choice!
  • For $300 – only $150 more – you get everything in the Golden GOFF reward, plus an ad for your business or group in the official GOFF zine-style program!
  • For $500 you can get an amazing one-of-a-kind movie star experience: get dressed up as your favourite Girl On Film thanks to GOFF sponsor Rose Chong Costumiers, with a professional photo shoot from official GOFF photographer Breeana Dunbar! And, of course, a Golden GOFF ticket.
  • And for $600 you will secure your place in the exclusive half-day filmmaking workshop with GOFF industry pros Tara Judah, Lou Rigolli, Rohan Spong and Gus Berger covering direction, writing, music, editing and the industry in a fun, supportive and hands-on environment. Plus a pro headshot from Breeana Dunbar, and all the Golden GOFF merch and a ticket!

But since one reward has run out, we figured we’d give in to a public request and create a new reward: Mini-Golf with GOFF! For $75 you can get yourself a GOFF Magic Ticket (a pre-sale ticket to the session of your choice; first come first served), including the sticker and badge Basic Merch, and also a spot at a special game of mini-golf with at least three of the GOFF committee! There are only 10 spots for this reward, so if you’re keen, get in now!

GOFF tickets now even more magical!

Have you been wanting to buy a ticket to GOFF for you and your BFFs? Maybe you think a session at GOFF would be a perfect date? Well, we’ve just updated our basic ticket rewards so you can buy multiples with one pledge – making it’s easier than ever to bring your whole girl gang along!

You can now get up to 4 single-session GOFF Magic Tickets or 2 Opening Night Tickets (with or without GOFF T-shirts) on one pledge! Just select the reward, and choose the quantity you want. You can edit your existing pledge to add more tickets if you want, too (though you’ll obviously need to increase your pledge amount to cover the extras). Here’s what it looks like:

Updating reward quantity

And those Magic Tickets, by the way? They’re definitely magical. Not only do you get first dibs on the sessions in the program (which will be announced soon), you’ll also get the GOFF supporter VIP treatment, with exclusive merch, extra high fives and the undying gratitude of the GOFF team! (We might even sneak you extra popcorn if the boss isn’t looking.)

The last ten days!

Here we are, two thirds of the way through our Pozible crowdfunding campaign, and at GOFF HQ we are proud and excited that so many people have backed the festival, pledged money and chosen rewards that we know they’ll love. Our hugest thanks to everyone who’s jumped on board so far – you’ve brought us to the very impressive total of $5,410!

Last week we announced details of the exclusive invite-only Opening Night Party, which includes a screening of Floria Sigismondi’s absolute belter, The Runaways, special guest speakers, light installations, Girl Gang DJs and a performance from Melbourne’s mavens of mayhem, the alt-country-dirty-rockers, MODESTY! Remember that tickets to this Opening Night Party and Screening WILL NOT GO ON SALE after the Pozible campaign so if you’re already coming and you want to get your gang together, they have to pledge now too. Starting at the $50 Reward you’ll get a ticket to this party: drinks on arrival, brilliant speakers, film screening, live band and DJs taking you into the night. That’s a bargain but the bigger your pledge the better your reward so check out the $100 level, and one of our most popular rewards so far, the $150 Golden GOFF, that gets you into Opening Night and every other session of the fest! (Get in quick for one of those, there are only eight left.)

We have a bunch of new announcements this week, so keep an eye on our web site (girlsonfilmfestival.com) or follow us on Twitter () or  to hear them all as they happen. We’ll be announcing some of our films in advance of the Program Launch, telling you about an awesome daytime event especially for young feminists of the school-type age, and sharing with y’all the incredible women who have agreed to be our Fairy GOFFMothers and play a big, beautiful role in the festival.

As you can see, we’ve got a long way to go in terms of pledges before we hit our target, which is only the minimum we need to bring GOFF to life, and we only have ten days left in our Pozible campaign. So if you’ve been thinking of pledging and haven’t got around to it, or if you can pledge now where you couldn’t afford to before, we’d be so grateful for your support. If you’ve already pledged or can’t afford to, the MOST AWESOME THING you could do to help us is share the link to the campaign (pozible.com/goff) with every person you’ve ever met – we’re talkin’ tweets, status updates, blog posts, Instagram snaps, plugs on your radio show, sticking a note up in your tea room at work, calling your friends, emailing your girl gang, and helping us share the GOFF love and smash through our target in ten days time.

Crowdfunding update: one third there and Opening Night details

We’ve set ourselves a frenetic pace here at GOFF HQ but we wanted to check in with our wonderful supporters! We’re completely thrilled that we’ve hit about a third of our target in just ten days – putting us right on track to reach our full goal.

We’ve made an exciting announcement too – our opening night film will be The Runaways, directed by Floria Sigismondi!

No other film could set the tone more perfectly than this rocking true story of the archetypal all-girl punk band. The film follows two friends, Joan Jett (a star turn from Dakota Fanning) and Cherie Currie (GOFF favourite Kristen Stewart, bringing the sex), as they rise from rebellious California kids to rock stars of the now legendary group, paving the way for future generations of girl bands. Sigismondi is beloved by many female filmmakers and has directed incredible music videos for the likes of David Bowie, Fiona Apple, The Cure, P!nk, Sigur Rós, and Katy Perry. It’s no wonder that like Joan Jett herself, The Runaways has a heart of pure rock ’n’ roll! It’s a wild ride and the perfect kick off for GOFF.

We can also reveal that there’ll be a live band at our Opening Night Party – all the way from their tour of Nashville, we have confirmed Melbourne’s mad mavens of mayhem: Modesty! Led by the uncontrollable sex appeal of Kate Boston Smith, Modesty’s high energy rock country stylings will keep us dancing into the night.

Remember you can only purchase a ticket to the Opening Night Party and Screening via the Pozible campaign, and it’s a great way to support GOFF!

We can’t wait for the festival to launch, but we still have a long way to go before that’s a guaranteed reality. Every little bit helps, so if you can only pledge a few bucks we’d be so grateful but if you’ve got a bit more cash, the rewards get better and better! And if you’re as pumped about GOFF as we are, please let your friends and loved ones know about us and share the campaign around.

Big love to all y’all from the GOFF Gang, and stay tuned for more exciting announcements!
