The Purple Turtle Short Film Festival begins in Baffle Creek, Queensland, Australia in 2017 to celebrate cultural diversity via World Harmony Day on March 21st. The aim is to offer an artistic platform to the region’s youth in particular to promote empathy and understanding.
Our region from Bundaberg to Gladstone in Qld challenges many minority groups with issues ranging from lack of acceptance and recognition to bullying and discrimination.
The purple turtle is a symbol of acceptance no matter race, color or creed and our commitment to our local environment.
