The 25th Tropfest short film festival will be streamed live to a global audience via the web-based Red Bull TV. The five-day festival will commence on 7 February 2017, and the Ten Network will broadcast the 16 finalist films on channel Eleven. SBS had previously held the free-to-air broadcasting rights for Tropfest, which will be held at Parramatta Park for the first time. Tropfest’s future had been in doubt in late 2015, when the event encountered financial problems.
