Flickerfest 2015

Overview

Supplement your afternoon swim with a dose of the world's best short films when the 24th Flickerfest comes to Bondi Beach between January 9 and 18.

The 2015 programme features 95 works, selected from 2300 entries, following months and months of difficult decision-making. Flickerfest is the only competitive short film festival in Australia to be both Academy®Accredited and BAFTA-recognised.

With 56 Australian shorts to see, incorporating 20 world premieres and nine Australian premieres, the festival is an excellent chance to support the local industry, find out what's been preoccupying our filmmakers of late and discover hot new talent. Meanwhile, the international segment features 39 films, with one world premiere and 32 Australian premieres.

Some sizeable Academy®Accredited prizes are up for grabs, including the Flickerfest Award For Best International Film, the Yoram Gross Award For Best Animation and Virgin Australia Award For Best Australian Film.

After spending ten days in Bondi, Flickerfest will hit the road for a five-month national tour, stopping at no less than fifty destinations along the way.
