And at Australia's biggest short film festival, you can do just that. The internationally acclaimed Flickerfest is celebrating its 31st year in 2022, too, so you can expect an A-class lineup of cinematic delights.
The annual short film festival is Australia's leading Academy Award-qualifying short film fest, and is backed with BAFTA recognition, too. In March, you can catch screenings at the James St Palace Cinemas.
