St Kilda Film Festival 2016
Proving that, in film, size doesn't matter.
Overview
You'll find big things in small packages at the St Kilda Film Festival this year. Australia's oldest short film festival, this massive event will descend on St Kilda for the 33rd time, showcasing some of the best up and coming filmmakers in the country.
The festival begins at the historic Palais Theatre on the evening of Thursday, May 19, where an audience of more than 3000 people will get the chance to see some of the most exciting films on the program. From there it's off to St Kilda Town Hall, where the festival will run in earnest until closing night on Sunday, May 28.
As always, the backbone of the festival is Australia's Top 100, featuring filmmakers from every corner of the country competing for a prize pool of $50,000. Other sections include Short Black, which features the work of Indigenous directors, and SoundKILDA, a collection of home-grown music videos for both local and international musicians.
