Flickerfest 2013
Win tickets to this premier festival of short films from Australia and overseas.
Overview
Grab a choc-top and a bucket of popcorn and head to the Judith Wright Centre for Flickerfest. This special festival is not only a great platform for filmmakers to show off their skills, it's also an absolute treat for movie buffs.
The short film festival is renowned for being Australia's only competition accredited by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science and recognised by BAFTA, which means award winners here go on to be considered for Oscars. It's a huge badge of honour for Flickerfest, which had its humble beginnings 22 years ago at Sydney's Balmain High School. Brisbane gets a three-day 'best of' this year's competition, which ran at Bondi Beach in January.
A huge number of entries were submitted, and the top 100 were chosen to screen in Brisbane. The most inspiring, creative, and edgy short films our nation and the world have to offer will be available for viewing, and our Sunshine State will be represented by two short films.
Past participants of the festival include Sundance-awarded director David Michod (Animal Kingdom) and Cannes Film Festival winner Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah). Catch these outstanding quick flicks and support the talented people involved. Each film is loaded with energy, emotion, and creativity, so fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the ride.
We have one double pass to give away to each night of Flickerfest, including opening night on Thursday 21 February. To be in the running, subscribe to our newsletter (if you haven't already) and then email [email protected] with your name and address.
