Freshflix - Spring Season

Overview

New local indie short film festival Freshflix is back for spring with more great films and food to ring in daylight savings. Created by budding entrepreneurs Jess Hamilton, Claudia Pickering and Laurs Guthrie, Freshflix started earlier this year in a backyard in Freshwater with the aim of showcasing local and international indie films, visual arts and live music.

Head to the 4 Pines Brewery Truckbar in Brookvale on Saturday, October 15 to kick back to the blues beats of The Realmers, munch on Truckbars' signature pale ale pizza pies and, naturally, drink 4 Pines brews — not to mention watching a solid dose of some kickass new films.

Highlights from their spring film selection lineup include Spill, a film about power dynamics in the marble collecting craze of West Meadows Primary School (or, you know, every suburban Australian primary school ever), Big City, a film about a Melbourne taxi driver and his passenger, and The Plover, a cartoon about a plover standing in the way of Henry Arthur Henry achieving his hopes and dreams — namely, jumping on Angie Primarano's trampoline.

And if all that isn't enough to convince you, your Freshflix ticket even comes with a free zine by local artists and free popcorn. Sold.

Can't make it to Brookvale? Don't worry, Freshflix will be coming to a secret Redfern warehouse on Friday night.
