Celebrating 35 years in 2026, Flickerfest remains Australia’s leading Academy® Qualifying and BAFTA Recognised short film festival, ensuring that we continue to present A-list short film programmes recognised amongst the best in the world with films hand-picked from the festival’s record 3,700+ entries!
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.
Saturday 9th May 7:30pm, Short Laughs Comedy delivers big laughs with a riotous collection of off-kilter Flickerfest shorts from Australia and around the world.
Don’t miss Carcassonne-Acapulco, where a chance encounter at 30,000 feet sparks a surprisingly profound and funny existential debate whilst hurtling through the sky; Baby Blues, a sharply observed comedy that hilariously captures the anxieties, paranoia and emotional free-fall of new parenthood; and Shrimp Fried Rice, a warm and witty tale that finds humour in cultural misunderstandings, family expectations, the emotional significance of a humble takeaway meal and so much more!
