The 9th Over The Fence Comedy Film Festival Awards for 2005 go to;



Just in case you don't know what Over The Fence is. OTF is a comedy festival that tours all over this great Nation. We go from the Big urban spaces to dusty towns. This year we toured from Mossman to Adelaide, Darwin to Melbourne, and Broome to Yackandandah & 30+ places in between.



With a tour line like "Expect Something Different" you get we are going do something new in '05 while still delivering our core promises; an extraordinary variety of films ranging from animation, doco clay-mation, drama - in a wild range of genres; slapstick, irreverent, cheeky, geek, absurd, sci-fi and much more.



These films are comic works that will leave you gasping between laughs, smiling with joy, touched by something special and filled by an experience, which celebrates the amazing range and imaginings of comic Australian filmmakers.



The Expect Something Different tour will be bold, adventurous, cool and funny.
