Gravity Media, a global leader in production and content and media services and facilities, today detailed the broadcast technology and television production undertakings to deliver the long-awaited return of the world’s largest short film festival, Tropfest, on YouTube.
Gravity Media was selected by the Tropfest Foundation to deliver the broadcast technology and production requirements for Tropfest’s live festival at Centennial Park in Sydney, deploying multi-camera coverage and one of its state-of-the-art outside broadcast trucks.
Devoted cinephiles across Australia and internationally were delivered a front row seat to the festival atmosphere in Centennial Park courtesy of Gravity Media’s diverse camera setup, including RF handheld and jib cameras, designed in collaboration with the Tropfest Foundation.
Tropfest returned on 22 Feburary 2026 after a six-year hiatus, inviting emerging filmmakers to submit a creative 7-minute short featuring the Tropfest Signature Item “Hourglass” with finalists displayed live to festivalgoers on the big screen at Centennial Park, audiences worldwide on YouTube, and an expert jury—including Australia’s own Margot Robbie.
Alongside the global livestream on YouTube, Gravity Media also supported the coordination of big screen vision, including the playback of the nominated short films.
Nigel Naseby, Account Manager – Media Services & Facilities at Gravity Media said:
“Gravity Media thank the Tropfest Foundation for selecting us to provide the broadcast technologies and production requirements for the hotly anticipated return of Tropfest and the delivery of the global livestream on YouTube.”
