Flickerfest and iQ inc are back for their 28th year in the Northern Rivers, kicking off their three-day festival of short films at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Thursday, February 27 to Saturday, March 1.
Organisers say ‘over 40 incredible short films are handpicked from a record 3,500 entries received for Flickerfest’s Academy Award and BAFTA-qualifying short film festival, which screened recently in Bondi’.
‘There are much-loved favourites, festival award-winners and Oscar nominees that will inspire local audiences with the best Australian and international short films the world has to offer, screening alongside exciting, fresh local talent.
Opening night
The opening night party is on February 27, with doors opening at 7pm with the Best Of International Shorts program starting from 8pm.
Festival director, Bronwyn Kidd, says, ‘I’m always excited to be bringing Flickerfest home to Mullumbimby and the Northern Rivers where I live. The films we are presenting are clever, soulful, insightful, moving and funny and I think they will really resonate with our local audiences. Our Mullumbimby Flickerfest and Byron All Shorts weekend is for people of all ages who love cinema and great stories and want to celebrate the best of short cinema with other local cinema lovers, in a fun and welcoming festival environment’.
