Brisbane audiences can look forward to 18 shorts across two jam-packed nights at Palace James Street Cinemas – one of these two nights is a celebration of all things Euro.
“Flickerfest is about celebrating diversity in storytelling. One of the big shifts I have seen is that because technology is so much more accessible, we’re getting that greater diversity," Festival Director Bronwyn Kidd says.
“Film is no longer a hobby for the privileged, it has become a much more accessible way for people of all backgrounds to tell stories, and that’s been fantastic for Flickerfest to celebrate and be a platform for that diversity.
“These films enable the wonderful ability to go on a deep dive into a subject or a theme and really celebrate that filmmaker’s personal passion for a story, and that’s a great thing.”
