You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 September 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Newtown Flicks Short Film Festival''' was an Australian competitive [[film festival]] featuring [[short film]]s. It was held annually in and around the [[Sydney]] suburb of [[Newtown, New South Wales|Newtown]], Australia, from 2006 until 2012. After that, the organisation turned to [[film production]].

==History==
The Newtown Flicks was established as a [[non-profit organisation]] in 2005, "to meet the demands of the underground Sydney short film industry". The festival was created by Martin Kelly, Bill Jordan, and Spiros Hristias while the three worked as equipment operators in the bio box of [[New Theatre (Newtown)|New Theatre]], a live performance venue in [[Newtown, New South Wales|Newtown]]. Meeting in local cafes, the creators developed the festival's name and logo, its aim and awards categories.<ref >((cite web | last=Robinson | first=David | title=About Us | website= Newtown Flicks | date=26 January 2019 | url=http://newtownflicks.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=66 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190304040048/http://newtownflicks.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=66 | archive-date=4 March 2019 | url-status=dead | access-date=21 February 2024))</ref>

After setting up the enterprise with their own money Kelly, Jordan, and Spiros looked for outside sponsorship for the festival. Since 2006, the festival's major sponsor has been [[JVC]] Professional, donors of filmmaking equipment. As a result, the JVC Encouragement Award is presented to a filmmaker showing potential not yet fully realised. Cash prizes are offered in the other categories together with bags for audio-visual accessories made by [[Crumpler]] and statuettes made by a local arts collective.((cn|date=February 2024))

Over the years Newtown Flicks received grants from [[City of Sydney]] and [[Screen NSW]]. It became a national film festival for Australia in 2009.((cn|date=February 2024)) 

Design of the statuettes and posters changed with each festival.((cn|date=February 2024))

After the 2012 festival, Newtown Flicks announced that the organisation was moving into [[film production]].<ref name=end2012>((cite web | title=Important Announcement! | website=newtownflicks.com.au | date=27 February 2019 | url=http://newtownflicks.com.au/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401192308/http://newtownflicks.com.au/ | archive-date=1 April 2019 | url-status=dead | access-date=21 February 2024))</ref>
