https://concreteplayground.com/brisbane/event/flickerfest-international-short-film-festival-2018-3/This summer, Flickerfest returns for its 27th season of short films, with the internationally acclaimed festival taking over Palace Centro Cinemas from February 23–24.
The eleventh stop on the festival's national tour, which launched in Sydney in January, will see a screening of the Best of Australian Shorts and the Best of International Shorts. The former, held on February 23, will feature ten films all made by Australian filmmakers including Martha The Monster, an animated film about a world in which humans and monsters live side-by-side; a moving indigenous drama called Miro; and The Baby Whisperer, a thriller made by local Brisbanites.
The Best of International Shorts (held on the second night) has a more international focus, screening award winning films from all over the world. It starts with an animated Canadian film, An Imagined Conversation: Kanye West & Stephen Hawking, continues with Germany's Academy Award–nominated All Of Us — based on a true story about a group of bus passengers who were attacked by extremists in Kenya — and ends with Who's Who in Mycology, a Czech comedy about a trombone player who spends a night trying to open a bottle of wine.
Once the festival wraps up in Brisbane, it will continue its road trip around the country, touring over 50 Aussie locations until May 2018.
To celebrate the festival's return to Brisbane, we're giving away five double passes to the Best of International Shorts on Saturday, February 24.
