Castlemaine filmmaker Mitch Nivalis didn’t set out to make a feature documentary, but when a creative project with the Mt Alexander Falcons women\u2019s football team turned into something bigger, they found themselves documenting a fight for equality in sport \u2014 one that became the acclaimed feature-length film, Equal the Contest<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d enrolled in a Masters in photography and was looking for a project that would allow me to use image-making to challenge gender roles and stereotypes,\u201d Mitch said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was open to the medium I\u2019d use, but I was experimenting with GoPros so I could both train with the Falcons and document the experience at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started as an artistic exploration quickly turned into something much bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcons’ application to field a team in the local league was rejected \u2014 a decision that struck a nerve with Mitch. That rejection became the heart of a powerful documentary exploring gender discrimination in Australian Rules football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, though, Mitch was still finding their feet as a documentary filmmaker. That\u2019s where LOCALS, the Castlemaine Documentary Festival\u2019s showcase for regional filmmakers, played a crucial role. Hosted annually by the Castlemaine Documentary Festival, LOCALS is an exclusive program for filmmakers who live or work locally, or have a meaningful connection to central Victoria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It provides a platform for both first-time and experienced filmmakers to share their work on the big screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Mitch, submitting an early version of Equal the Contest<\/em> to LOCALS was a pivotal moment.\u201cDipping my toe in the water with LOCALS was so great,\u201d Mitch said. \u201cIt gave me a chance to test what I was making with a local audience, and it was really validating to see it up on the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That screening put the work-in-progress film on the radar of festival director Claire Jager, who later selected the completed feature film for the 2023 festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat really kicked things off for our release,\u201d Mitch said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaving a sell-out hometown premiere for CDOC was one of the best moments of my life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Mitch is in early development on a new feature-length documentary exploring the challenges faced by trans and gender-diverse athletes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s still so much work to do in this space,\u201d Mitch said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to make a film that creates positive change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submissions for LOCALS 2025 are now open, inviting filmmakers of all levels to submit films under six minutes in any style \u2014 whether observational, experimental, historical or personal. With prizes, industry support and a passionate local audience, it\u2019s the perfect opportunity to tell your story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Mitch puts it: \u201cDon\u2019t think, just do. Find a topic you care about, because that will keep you going when things get hard. Accept that it won\u2019t be perfect, you\u2019ll make mistakes, but telling stories belongs to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equal the Contest<\/em> is available to stream now on SBS On Demand. Submissions for LOCALS close May 23. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
