Flickerfest Mullumbimby and Byron All Shorts is opening on Thursday, 26 February in Mullumbimby, celebrating 35 years of short film innovation here and around the country.
The three-day festival of short films will run at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall until Saturday, 28 February with over 40 incredible short films to share, handpicked from a record 3,700 entries received for Flickerfest’s Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying short film festival.
‘Celebrating 29 years in the Northern Rivers, Thursday will see viewers enjoy a selection of nine stunning film gems from our Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying competition in Bondi,’ say organisers.
‘The festival promises to delight audiences with the most creative, inspiring and entertaining shorts on offer, including Oscar-nominees and award-winners, screening alongside exciting, fresh local talent.’
Friday will see the ‘Best Of Australian Shorts’ while on Saturday you can join Director Browyn Kidd for a free filmmaking workshop on the journey from ‘Shorts to Long Form Content’.
The final session brings you ‘Short Laughs Comedy’ –a riotous collection of off-kilter Flickerfest shorts.
