Who We Are
The Festival is run biennially on a voluntary, not-for-profit basis. Nobody is paid or receives any other income as a result of its activities.
For its 1st edition, the Vertical Film Festival (VFF) was held under the auspices of the Australian Climbing Festival.
The VFF is founded and co-directed by two graduates of the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS): Adam Sebire, a filmmaker/stock footage/video artist with numerous broadcast, art exhibition and film festival credits, in collaboration with his sister Natasha Sebire, adventure filmmaker/cinematographer and co-organiser of the 2014 Australian Climbing Festival. Natasha's film Resounding Silence was selected for the Banff Film Festival, 2013.
Sponsors
In 2018 the Festival is sponsored by Bendigo Bank’s Katoomba & Upper Blue Mountains Community Bank Branch
and Scenic World Katoomba
