One of Australia’s longest-standing and publicly owned short film festivals, this year’s event will feature 100 of the country’s top short films, music videos, archival screenings, youth programs and more.
Some of the highlights include grandpa-grandson flick Imagination Game; Flat Daddy, the story of the effect a life-size cut-out of a military officer dad has on his family; Melma, the true story of Metalicus founder Melma Hamersfield; and Jack’s Promise, a narrative of a man trying to make it all work.
Along with the film program, the festival will also play host to SoundKILDA, showing off the best music videos of local and international musicians created by some of the country’s most talented filmmakers. Guy Pearce, Client Liason, Bob Dylan and Courtney Barnett will all hit the big screen this year.
Other events within the festival include two archival programs, a showcase of films celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander filmmakers, a filmmaker development series and a competition for filmmakers under 21.
