  • Festival Description:

    Flickerfest, Australia’s premiere international short film festival, will be held at Bondi Pavilion on Sydney’s famous Bondi Beach. Screening short fiction films, animation and documentaries all which are under 30 mins, the festival will consist of a main competitive program, a short documentary competition, Australian competition and a number of additional programs and forums out of competition. Following the Festival in Sydney, the films in the main competitive programs will go on tour around selected cities and regional centres of Australia. Started in 1995, Flickerfest's national tour has become a very important part of the festival. The tour takes the main competitive programs and some Special sessions to many regional and metropolitan areas, which rarely have an opportunity to view this collection of the best of the world's short films.

    As Australia’s only Academy accredited short film festival, films in competition at Flickerfest are fiercely competing for a number of prestigious prizes including the Coopers Award For Best Film and the Yoram Gross Award For Best Animation, alongside the JVC award for best Australian Short Film.

    There is a distribution company associated with the festival called “FlickFest Works Dist.”
