Trasharama A-Go-Go is an Australian annual short film festival catering to the low-budget/no-budget end of the movie-market, focusing on genre films (Horror & Sci-fi) under 15 minutes in length. The Festival began 1997, providing emerging horror film makers with a competitive environment to develop their craft and showcase films to audiences, effectively acting as a de facto training ground.[1]

The Festival was conceived by Dick Dale, frontman of Adelaide bands Gacy's Place and Kamikaze. Although having started in Adelaide, South Australia the festival has gained local and national sponsorship allowing it to grow in size and popularity,[citation needed] featuring both national and international submissions and now tours Australia with screenings in most Australian states.[2][3][4][5]

Trasharama A-Go-Go is promoted as "Australia's NASTIEST Short Film FESTERval".[6] Although no festival was held in 2010, the festival returned the following year.[7] Since 2015 the Trasharama agogo film festival has held its annual premiere in conjunction with Melbourne's Monster Fest.[8]
