Meet Brisbane's longest continuously-running local film festival. While the Brisbane International Film Festival has stopped, restarted and moved venues over the years, the West End Film Festival is still kicking on. It's focused on short films rather than lengthier flicks, but it seems that good things come in small packages as the fest gears up for its 11th year.
Taking place between Friday, June 28 and Sunday, June 30 at the Boundary Street Markets Complex, WEFF once again shines a spotlight on homegrown talents keeping things short and sweet in the cinema, with its program split over multiple sessions. Chicken breeders, cannibalism, creepy hotel managers, the #Times Up movement... they all get a mention. And, while the festival keeps its eyes on all things abridged and brief, it'll also feature panels on storytelling, as well as free outdoor screenings in Bunyapa Park.
Awards are part of WEFF, too, and you can vote. If you're keen to see who wins, the ceremony takes place on Saturday, June 29 at 8.45pm.
