MARK SHABA
filmmaker
Mark Shaba is an emerging filmmaker who enjoys telling stories of all kinds, especially those uniquely interconnecting with social issues and reality. He graduated from JMC Academy where he won 'Best Documentary' for his project 'Two of a Kind' at the Martini Film Awards. His short documentary 'The World Rests with the Youth' premiered and screened during 'Cultural Diversity Week' and the 'Melbourne Highlights' series at the Australian Centre for Moving Image (ACMI). He wrote, produced, directed and edited his graduate film ‘Rosie’, which explores child neglect and anxiety in a dreamlike and poetic way. 'Rosie' has been selected at several film festivals such as 'Carmarthen Bay Film Festival' (BAFTA Qualifying), 'Festival Angaelica', 'FOCUS Wales Film Festival', 'Reel East Texas Film Festival' (where it won 'Best Foreign Student Film') and 'Richard Harris International Film Festival' (IFTA Qualifying).

23.08.2021 Founded 'Hommage' with the goal of promoting and screening low-budget indie movies in affordable and meaningful ways.Rather than just having a one-off interaction, we aspire to develop lasting relationships with our selected filmmakers through offering multiple promotions over a long period of time. Essentially, we believe art is less pushed and viewed as content when it is discussed, shared and reflected upon over and over. So we won't just post about selected filmmakers and their films once - at no extra cost, we will give certain filmmakers the opportunity to further discuss their movies in our digital magazine.See our catalogue of films at www.hommagecine.com.
