Podlove is a new initiative developed and funded by the AFC and SBSi. Its aim is to explore the impact of digital communications on our relationships with friends, family, lovers and strangers.

The five best documentaries (of five minutes each) will be broadcast on SBS Television. Being pod-films, they will also be pod-cast on a new interactive website.

Digital technology means no limits so live action, animation, composite imagery, visual and aural processing, and archival can be sourced for your five-minute short film.
