FLiCKERFEST HEADS TO UR FINAL WEEKEND

It’s Thursday and Day 7 at Flickerfest and we may have just tipped over the midpoint of our festival, but there are still so many incredible films to experience that we can’t wait to share. And don’t forget nothing rains on Flickerfest’s short film parade! If the clouds are bursting our indoor theatre is cosy and beckoning.
Today at 6:30PM you can expect some exquisite films in our EU Shorts Showcase (presented by the EU Delegation to Australia) including the Oscar-nominated Beautiful Men (this might be the last chance for you to see this film at Flickerfest!) and Austrian short, Caught in 4K about being caught red handed on the internet.
Then at 9PM catch our Comedy Shorts 1 Showcase featuring the lighthearted Thanks For The Milk about a delivery man who realizes he’s the reincarnation of an elderly man’s beloved cat and the outstandingly hilarious Mugged! about a gay black man and an illegal immigrant who meet in the dead of the night in the dingy streets of London.View today’s full programme and grab your tickets below!
