UNSW film teacher Dr Greg Dolgopolov is the Creative Director of the Vision Splendid Film Festival. Established in the Central Queensland town of Winton in 2014, the festival grew from a close collaboration between Dolgopolov and the local community.
According to Tourism and Events Queensland, the festival generated in excess of half a million dollars in 2018 and 2019. The festival has also made Winton a hub of filmmaking: more than a dozen local and international productions have been filmed in the region since 2014.
