The Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival is held in Gympie, Queensland, Australia.
The festival aims to show warm, happy and nourishing films that have a "Heart of Gold", films with a thought-provoking, uplifting or simply funny take on life, films that make a positive contribution to the world, well crafted stories with positive, inspirational themes.
Heart of Gold does not screen films that have explicit sexual acts, nudity, excessive profanity or gratuitous violence. Films that condone racism, drug use and cruelty would also not find a place in this festival.
It is run by Heart of Gold Film Festival Inc, an incorporated association committed to the screening and promotion of nourishing, well crafted films.
The festival is a four day, three night event, and the very first was held October 26-29, 2006. In 2007, it is due to be held between the 25th - 28th October.
