Flickerfest Melbourne

Overview

Like your films short, though not necessarily sweet? Keen to check out up-and-coming homegrown talent? If you answered yes to either of the above questions, then Flickerfest is the event for you – but this really shouldn’t be news. Australia’s leading Academy® accredited and BAFTA recognised short film festival has been running for 24 years now.

Come February 18, the fest’s annual national tour stops by Kino Cinemas to share the local love via a jam-packed Made in Melbourne program. Over 2,300 entries were received for Flickerfest 2015, and only the top 110 shorts made the cut for the entire national tour, so the handpicked Melbourne flicks are certain to be something special. The moving and mesmerising Grey Bull, the thrillingly scary Waterborne, and the very funny time travel film I’m You Dickhead are just a few of the shorts in the session.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without a bit of post-film fun, aka the afterparty. Hang around after the screening for delicious food from misschu and drinks from Little Creatures, Vodka O, Rosnay Wines and Phoenix Organic Juices, all included in the ticket price.
