St Kilda Film Festival 2015

Overview

Some of the best young filmmakers in the country are headed down to the esplanade, for ten straight days of cinematic mayhem. Australia’s oldest and largest showcase of short form filmmaking is back for another year, with a brand new venue along with a prize pool of more than $50,000.

With the Astor Theatre temporarily out of action, this year's festival will be hosted at St Kilda Town Hall. As per usual, the meat of the program lies in the Top 100 Australian Shorts section, stretched strategically across 14 separate sessions. You can get the complete package for a cool $100, or choose from a selection of genre streams including 'coming of age', documentary and LGBT.

This year will also see St Kilda continue its partnership with the Palm Springs International Shortfest, with four sessions dedicated to some of the best shorts from overseas. Rounding out the program are specialised youth and family streams, along with audience favourite music video contest, SoundKILDA.
