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!

GIRL GERMS: GOFF’S TEEN DREAM

You read that right, at GOFF we’re all about the girl gang and that includes our teen dreamers! A special session for young feminists will happen on Saturday 13 September starting at 2pm and ending with an all-ages screening of The Punk Singer! The whole event will be hosted by the incredible Anna Barnes, bringing her Fairy GOFFmother magic to a day of zine-making, girl bands, DJing, nail art, activism, cosplay, and a documentary about the hero of Riot Grrrl, Kathleen Hanna. Last year Anna hosted the one and only Tavi Gevinson at MWF’s Rookie Day celebrations so we’ll crush on both of them by osmosis at Girl Germs, okay?

If you wanna see this dream become a reality we would love to have your support over at our GOFF Pozible page. With only five days to go, we still need 25% of our target to stage this festival, including this absolutely bangin’ session! To prebook and secure your ticket to Girl Germs, head over and choose the $25 pledge and the first twenty will have priority. After the Pozible campaign wraps up, tickets to the whole Girl Germs session will be $30, so you’ll save yourself a fiver.

When tickets for the full festival program go on sale, punters will be able to book for the film screening only, at 4.30pm during Girl Germs. This session is all-ages and everybody is welcome!

We’re so incredibly excited at GOFF HQ because all we want is for feminists of every age to feel like there are lots of us, that there are fun and amazing things happening, that we can fight our fight and party hardy, that activism is more than just megaphones and barricades, and that we’re all in this together. Girl Germs is gonna be such a kick and we can’t wait to meet y’all at GOFF this September!

P.S. If you want us to send you printable flyers and posters, and we’ll hook you up. Splashing this around school is a good way to make sure you have your whole girl gang together on the day.
