Attended by over 100,000 people Tropfest is the world's largest outdoor short film festival. This year's event takes place on February 22 at Sydney's Domain. Gone Troppo is a fly-on-the-wall documentary following filmakers competing in Tropfest 2003. This entertaining and insightful documentary traces the birth of Tropfest and shows how it has since become a fixed component of the Australian cultural calendar.

Gone Troppo is a warts and all look at the judging process. It's funny and it's real. It's about people having a go, despite the odds. This collectors item DVD will also feature 26 of the best and critically-acclaimed short films from the Tropfest archives and outtakes and interviews from the documentary. A must for any film enthusiast, student, lover of Aussie culture and attendee of Tropfest.

Stars such as Bryan Brown comment on their Tropfest experiences. Past winners including Gregor Jordan (Ned Kelly, Two Hands), tell us how winning Tropfest has helped them achieve successful international careers. John Polson takes us on an access all areas tour of the event.
