The St Kilda Film Festival is on the road to Dandenong.
Organisers revealed on Wednesday 27 June that Australia’s oldest publicly-owned film festival would screen at the Drum Theatre on Friday 21 September.
The announcement followed the success of Greater Dandenong’s own Short Cuts Film Festival.
A near-full Drum watched 18 short films selected from more almost 1900 entries from 40 countries on Saturday 23 June.
The St Kilda Film Festival touring schedule includes highlights from Australia’s Top 100 Short Film Competition, including Best Short Film and Best Animation winner Lost Property Office.
The nine-minute animation is made from cardboard, also appeared in the Dandenong program and was produced by a former Lyndale Secondary College student Daniel Agdag.
St Kilda Film Festival is an Academy Awards qualifying event, with the winners of this year’s Best
Short Film and Best Documentary are eligible for consideration in the OSCARS short film and OSCARS Documentary Shorts Award categories.
Drum Theatre is on the corner of Lonsdale and Walker streets in Dandenong.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 concession and $10 for Drum Friends.
