Flickerfest is thrilled to present a special free community short film screening, to inspire and support our local community with a night of uplifting stories, featuring unique characters from at home and across the Northern Rivers. This programme is suitable for all ages.
This inspiring short film programme will feature highlights from Flickerfest’s Best of Australian shorts programme, not previously screened in the Northern Rivers. Joining them will be an incredible collection of award winning Northern Rivers shorts from the Byron All Shorts competition.
Flickerfest is also excited to premiere a brand new music video, produced by esteemed locals One Vision Productions in these spring school holidays. The workshop brought flood affected youth together to tell their stories. The workshop participants will be present on the night to present their work.
The One Vision school holiday workshop and Flickerfest screening is supported by the Office for Regional Youth Holiday Break Program in partnership with Create NSW.
