SUFF pops up everywhere!

SUFF staff love to travel - whether it's film making in Canada, film festival hopping in the USA or searching for film makers in Germany... and so on...

This was a quick stickering in Berlin while on a tour (stickering *is* a legal form of street art in Berlin, with provisions) - hopefully we'll get some better ones later on. Our apologies to El Bocho!

Turn your holiday snaps into SUFF competition entries!

We are absolutely loving these - thanks 'S' for entering the SUFF comp!

Comp tip: Going on a holiday? Taking photos of the SUFF face will help break the ice with strangers!

Latest entry for the 2011 SUFF totally legal competition

We've got a fabulous competition entry here from new SUFF staffer and multi-talented Rhys Turner (sorry Rhys, no prizes - except for the glory of working with us, of course!). Among other things, Rhys has a comic starring this character (Muskater) which you can find out more about on Rhys' blog. It's another great example of what you could be sending to us... jane at suff.com.au...

New competition entry

We've just received this entry (called 'don't show my face', by J), with a sticker from last year's festival. Yep, we'll even accept those! Can you do better than stuff on your cat? (And we wonder, who's going to be the first with a SUFF tattoo?)

Send in those entries...

Heads up for Sydney Film Festival 2011!

As you probably already know by now, Sydney Film Festival starts today and runs until June 19^th.

They are screening an amazing 161 films from 42 countries. CIVIC LIFE, BOXING GYM, MICROPHONE, LETTERS FROM THE BIG MAN and SAMMY’S ADVENTURES: THE SECRET PASSAGE are some of the many films you should not miss. Book tickets here.

The Turin Horse - screening at Sydney Film Festival soon

Sydney Film Festival is screening the stunning THE TURIN HORSE. This grand work of apocalyptic minimalism from Hungarian director Béla Tarr won a Special Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival. One of our recommended films.

Read more on this film and other Push Me To The Edge films here.

Ideas for the totally legal SUFF competition 2011

We'd like to recieve a whole lot more competition entries for our totally legal SUFF comp than we have been, so if you've been thinking about entering, now's the time!

We will accept drawings, pictures, photos - even macaroni art - as long as it has a recognisable version of the SUFF logo in your image it's good to go. If you like, get a bunch of friends to model the logo for you. Or head on over to Reverse Garbage and create something out of the ordinary. Whatever you do, just enter a photo of your work by sending it to jane (at) suff.com.au.

Here's a fabulous entry from Oba:

What will you send us?

SUFF dines out in style at Summer Hill's Pier 26

Recently we were lucky enough to have our staff meeting at the glorious Pier 26 restaurant in Summer Hill, Sydney. We literally received mountains of seafood, as you can see in this pic. Since the image pretty much speaks for itself all we have to say is the service was as good as the seafood.

We're glad this place is Summer Hill's secret. Thanks Pier 26 for having SUFF!

The Forgiveness of Blood at Sydney Film Festival 2011

While you're waiting for SUFF to start... Sydney Film Festival starts in only one week from today! Some films are sold out and many are selling fast, so avoid disappointment and book now. One film not to miss is THE FORGIVENESS OF BLOOD - The latest drama from Joshua Marston (Maria Full of Grace). Book tickets here.

The totally legal SUFF competition 2011

If you've read our newsletter, you'll know we are running a little competition – and anyone can participate! All you need is to know is what the SUFF face logo looks like and apply this logo to wherever your imagination takes you! Then just snap a happy snap and email it to jane [@] suff.com.au.

It could look something like this:

Or... well, we're sure you can do better than us.

You could also stencil the local stray cat*, sticker the back of your boss' car, or perhaps your local tranny performer’s crotch (with her permission of course!) - whatever you heart desires. [Disclaimer: SUFF takes no responsibility for where their image ends up.] As long as the SUFF logo is clearly visible - although obviously the more creative, out there and just plain weird it is, the more we going to like it.

If you would like a stencil sent to you, you can also email Jane for this - or better still, make your own! AND you can enter as many times as you like! We will be giving away DVDs, festival passes, stickers, tshirts and more! Entries will be posted right here, and occasionally on facebook and twitter.

Winners will be declared randomly throughout June, July and August 2011.

*Please use edible colouring. Cats are people too.

SUFF turns five! Bring on the festival for 2011!

Hello there! Yes, SUFF turns 5 this year, and we're celebrating by doing what we do best - holding another great festival (if we do say so ourselves!). We're receiving some fantastic entries again this year, and the good news is it's not too late to enter - the very latest deadline is Friday 24 June 2011. Having said that, we really appreciate receiving films as early as possible so the committee who has the tough job of selecting the films aren't put under *quite* so much pressure! Dedicated as they are, we don't want to be responsible for making them look like this.

We're also about to unveil our new competition here on these pages, and it's something everyone can get involved in - so stay tuned.
