Boilerplate "article" which has existed for four years without ever having any substantive content added to it. As written, this just states the dates on which the festival was held and lists the names of the award jury members, but otherwise just comprises empty sections which aren't actually listing even one film that screened at it. Basically, somebody rushed a boilerplate article into place in the expectation that it would be added to in the future — but nobody ever actually added to it, and it exists in isolation as there are no other articles for any other year's running of this film festival at all. We can certainly keep separate articles about individual annual runnings of film festivals if they actually have content (see: Berlin, Cannes, TIFF), so I'd be perfectly happy to withdraw this if somebody with better access to archived Australian media coverage than I've got can actually improve the article — but if nobody's prepared to do that, there's no value in holding onto it in this state.
