Flickerfest boasts over 2200 entries this year, with just over 100 being selected for official screening; a testament to the international appeal of the festival, and the huge interest it draws from the filmmaking arena.
“In 2015 we will screen 20 different short film programmes during our ten-day festival season. Apart from our 14 competitive programmes consisting of 5 International, 7 Australian and 2 Documentary in competition, we also celebrate shorts with environmental themes in our GreenFlicks competition, and productions from Primary and High School Students from across Australia in FlickerUp; which is sure to again showcase some extremely accomplished short films from our future cinema stars of tomorrow!†(Bronwyn Kidd, Festival Director)
