"Flickerfest has been to Griffith Regional Theatre many times before, and is one of the most popular shows of our Season," Margaret Andreazza caretaker co-ordinator at the Griffith Regional Theatre said.
"There's always a great variety of subject matter - some are funny, some are sad, some are animated, and most are surprising.
"This year's line up includes a short film from Leeton-based actor Jake Speer and we have a brand-new state of the art cinema projector, so you really will be seeing the movies in the very highest quality.
"Flickerfest at Griffith Regional Theatre is always a great night out, with complimentary pizza and a glass of wine or soft drink at the interval."
Celebrating its 30th year in 2021 Flickerfest remains Australia's leading Academy® Qualifying and BAFTA Recognised short film festival, ensuring that we continue to present A-list short film programs recognised amongst the best in the world with films hand-picked from the festival's record 2700 entries.
