About this Event

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners on all of the the lands on which we live work and play. Goatfest 2021 Online & Beyond  is coming from the land of the Wotjobaluk, Jardawajali, Jaadwa, Jupagulk and Wergaia. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

ACT Natimuk is a not for profit arts organization based in the town of Natimuk. Every year since 2002 it has run a sellout event in the small town. The Goatfest climbing film festival. Created as a way to raise funds to support the organisation, it is open to all who wish to submit a climbing themed film. Be they amateurs or professional. There are prizes for Jury Choice, Audience Choice and Kids Prize.

The festival is a much loved event on the climbing community calendar. It is an opportunity for climbers to create and view films and to enjoy the global camaraderie that is part of being a member of this great community. Run by volunteers, Goatfest opens with an offering of a hearty meal, includes the film contest replete with prizes and the coveted Golden Goat award. Alongside a selection of both professional and amateur films, there is often a feature event which may be a film, a talk or presentation.

BUT IT’S A BIT DIFFERENT NOW ISN’T IT?

Yep, sure is. Life in general is a bit different these days due to the impact and restrictions of Covid 19.  Last year we ran our first Goatfest Online as there was no option for a live viewing.

The online version last year received great feedback and we have decided to continue to offer this. It allows those that could never see Goatfest due to commitments or distance.

This year, we will also be running a Live Venue component. Due to Covid restrictions this will be a much smaller audience event but we are going to give it a go.

Online viewing tickets are currently on sale here https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/goatfest-2021-online-beyond-tickets-147037283473

We’ll be running it via a mix of Zoom for interactive content and voting and watching the films via Vimeo. After ticket registration, you will be sent zoom links and vimeo passwords closer to the time.

Live Venue tickets will be on sale on the day. We will update info on this closer to the time.

We think it’s important to keep the festival going and provide some celebration in the community around climbing and the arts.
