Flickerfest, Australia’s largest Short Film Festival is excited to be returning on its National Tour to the Araluen Arts Centre Theatre in Alice Springs for two spectacular nights, on Friday 8th & Saturday 9th May, showcasing the Best of Australian Shorts and Short Laughs Comedy programme highlights, all handpicked from our recent Bondi festival competitions.
The short films screening are entertaining, inspiring, award-winning, and fresh from their premieres in competition at Flickerfest Bondi, giving Nambour Flickerfest audiences a window into the hottest contemporary shorts from at home and across the world today.
Friday 8th May 7pm, honouring our unique identity and culture with the Best of Australian Shorts.
Catch a collection of stunning shorts supported by big names both in front of and behind the camera.
Moving drama Tuesday Tuesday, won best female director at Flickerfest 2026 and stars Peter Phelps (Stingers) in a stellar performance as a man whose world is fading.
Whilst Packed Away gives us the directorial debut of actress Michala Banas (Always Greener, Mcleod's Daughters) who shines both on and off camera in this personal and intimate drama and actor Matt Day (Rake) writes and directs the comedy Baby Shower starring the legendary Hugo Weaving in a dark comedy about family friendship and unexpected happening at this familiar ritual.
Returning Flickerfest alumni Jesse Vogelaar brings The Suit, a sharp and hilarious comedy featuring award winning actress Kat Stewart and much-loved comedian Colin Lane delivering big laughs with plenty of bite.
