Overview

Born in warehouses, cafes, breweries and backyards around Sydney, Freshflix showcases some of the best indie short films from across Australia and beyond. Now, it's bringing its Film Festival back for the seventh season in conjunction with Vivid Sydney. And this year, it'll be held on the top floor of Circular Quay's Museum of Contemporary Art — which means, as well as watching some top quality shorts, you'll get to enjoy some impressive views of the Vivid lights, too.

Running from 5pm on Saturday, June 8, the night begins with live music (paired with some soaking up of Vivid lights), then a slew of independently made short films will screen. If you're a horror fan, we recommend you stick around until 9pm, when a series of blood-curling, creepy and gory thrillers and sci-fi flicks will screen.

There'll be awards handed out throughout the night, too, as well as a heap of beverages available for purchase. Tickets start from a very reasonable $10 a pop, too.
