The Flickerfest tour is landing at the oldest outdoor picture house in the world Sun Pictures in Broome on the 27th August. Setting off a fabulous evening of short films under the stars will be the Best of Australian Shorts at 6.15pm, a collection of captivating and award winning films from our 2021 Bondi competition programmes including much loved WA films Sparkles and Wirun fresh from their world premiers at Flickerfest in January.
We follow up with our Best of Indigenous Shorts at 8pm, curated by filmmaker Dylan River, from Flickerfest shorts that have inspired his filmmaking career. Films include Bec Cole’s Plains Empty from 2005 with cinematography by Warwick Thornton starring Broome born and raised AACTA nominated actress Ngaire Pigram (Mystery Road) in her big screen debut. More WA actors also shine in some of their first ever big screen roles including a very young Trevor Jamieson (Cleverman) in Erica Glynn’s 1998 short My Bed Your Bed, and in Dena Curtis’s Jacob acting legends David Ngoombujurra and Ningali Lawford.
