Academy Award winner and gay sex video gamesfive-time Emmy nominee Susan Sarandon will head the jury for the self-proclaimed largest short film festival in the world.
Australia's Tropfest announced on Wednesday that Sarandon would be judging the event, set for Feb. 17 in Sydney's Parramatta Park.

“I love Australia and am extremely excited to be coming to Sydney in February for Tropfest,” said Sarandon in a press statement.
“There is an enormous amount of film talent down under, so I’m looking forward to watching all of these amazing short films showcasing Australia’s vibrant diversity.”
Tropfest celebrates its 26th anniversary in 2018 — a true feat for an event that was cancelled due to financial mismanagement. Tropfest was started in Sydney's Tropicana cafe in 1993, with just 200 people present. Today, Tropfest takes place in North America, the Middle East, New Zealand, and South-East Asia, with Tropfest Australia attracting an audience of 100,000 when it shows in Sydney.
The festival shows 16 short films from finalists with a signature object chosen by the company that needs to be present in the short film — such as last year's item, pineapple.
The event will be broadcast on ABC for the first time, on its new channel, ABC COMEDY, available to stream via iView.
Until then, enjoy Justice's 2016 video for "Fire," starring one heck of a Sarandon.
