Flickerfest Brisbane
The only Australian short film festival that counts at Oscars time, Flickerfest rolls into town.
Overview
Those movie stars and directors we all know and love — they had to start somewhere. Many toiled their way to fame from humble beginnings, including that tried and tested path for emerging talent: short films.
Yes, tomorrow’s cinema superstars are today’s short filmmakers, and thanks to Flickerfest, you can get a glimpse of the next batch of movie magicians. Now in its 24th year, the nation’s leading Academy® accredited and BAFTA recognised short film festival is once again showcasing all things brief — and beautiful, bizarre, brutal and downright bonkers — nationwide.
For Flickerfest’s Brisbane stopover, audiences are being treated to three evenings of shorts, starting with the best Australian fare on opening night. Next up, check out some fine work from around the globe in two international packages. Five locally made flicks — A New You, The Duck, You Cut I Choose, Fell and Skin — have even made the mix, an amazing feat given that over 2,300 entries were submitted for 2015.
