EventCalligraffiti Upside Down Tour 2012
Wed, 25 Jan - Tue, 7 Feb 2012
Various venues, Various locations
Niels Shoe Meulman describes his art as “traditional handwriting with a metropolitan attitude”. Fusing the art of beautiful writing with the art of getting his (pseudo) name up in an urban environment, Meulman’s unique brand of art makes graffiti more accessible and calligraphy far more cool. Meulman’s unique mash-up of inspirations and experience results in artwork that hits you in the face before making you appreciate its traditional beauty. Who said you can’t indulge your inner typography nerd and design a range of luxury silk scarves while retaining a rebellious street edge?

EventFlickerfest
Thu, 6 Jan - Sat, 15 Jan 2011
Bondi Pavilion, Bondi Beach
Believers of the adage "short and sweet" will find themselves in cinematic nirvana at this year’s Flickerfest. Australia’s only competitive international short film festival — earning BAFTA and Academy accredited status — has amassed a lineup of 108 films from the staggering 2200 entries received, representing the best shorts locally and from around the globe. Flickerfest began as a small local festival at the Balmain High School in 1991 and has now put roots down on the shore of Bondi Beach, as if that part of town needed another reason to pilfer the masses during the summer months. Freeing filmmakers from the pressures of box office and commercial concerns, the festival acts as a launch pad for emerging storytellers and their bold new perspectives on cinema.

Belvedere Amphitheatre, Centennial Park, Centennial Park
If you're heading to the movies without a picnic blanket this summer, you're doing it wrong. Moonlight Cinema is back for its sixth season this year to prove that movies are better when you're watching them outdoors, and best when you can bring your own food and booze without being super sneaky. The season kicks off with a preview screening of Alexander Payne's comedy-drama The Descendents, while the rest of the cinematic lineup includes Woody Allen's romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, the 2011 remake of The Muppets and the Hollywood neo-noir drama that cemented Ryan Gosling's rank as the tenth sexiest man alive — claim your patch of grass early for Drive. Also on offer will be NY-style street food, a fully licensed bar and gourmet picnic hampers you can book along with your tickets. Though the best way to do Moonlight is still with a bag of Cheezels and a bottle of wine.
