Flickerfest 2022 — Best of Melbourne Shorts

Overview

There's something rather cool about being ahead of the curve when it comes to cinema, watching the latest and greatest flicks on the silver screen well before anyone else. And at Australia's biggest short film festival, you can do just that. The internationally acclaimed Flickerfest is celebrating its 31st year in 2022, 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 it's backed with BAFTA recognition, too. Get a window into the cinematic mastery that has received both national and international acclaim, all acknowledged as the most inspiring, provocative and entertaining pieces to see. With a whopping 3200 submissions this year, and films gracing the screens of over 45 venues nationally, the Flickerfest Tour lineup will have something for everyone.

This April, the Best of Melbourne Shorts brings a curated screening of 11 award-winning short films from thriving Victorian filmmakers. The one-night-only event kicks off at 7pm at The Kino Palace Cinema, with popcorn and drinks on arrival. Promising emotive coming-of-age storylines, writing that brings wit and creativity in droves and the exploits of a woman whose addiction to retail therapy is uncovered by an introverted gamer — you will laugh, cry and be inspired. Head down early to mingle with industry experts and hear insights from filmmakers fresh from their Flickerfest premieres.
