Flickerfest

Overview

It's hard work seeing movies sometimes and it's actually pretty expensive to see just one, let alone a few. Thank your lucky stars because for the first time, the well-loved Flickerfest is in Brisbane showcasing the best shorts films from some of the world's most acclaimed filmmakers.

For the past 21 years, Flickerfest has let its freakishly short film flag fly, but we are only having a taste of it now. Not to worry, the cinematic goodness is going to be held over a three night program, testing out the bite sized reels on keen Brisbane audiences. These aren't just any run-of-the-mill home videos, these Australian and international films have been given the nod by the Academy® and BAFTA, and were carefully selected out of the record amount of entries this year - a whopping 2200 (there's usually around 1500).

If you lose attention quickly, you're a film buff, or you want to experience world class motion pictures in all their glory, you shouldn't look any further than the Flickerfest screens. It will be money well spent any way you look at it.
