FlickerFest - Short Film Festival - Perth Tour (expired event)

Flickerfest is back in Perth for 2025, screening at the Luna Outdoor Leederville and kicking off their 3-day festival of 30 short films under the stars on Thursday 20th until Saturday 22nd February.

This year's smorgasbord of over 30 incredible short films are handpicked from a record 3,500 entries received for Flickerfest’s Academy Award and BAFTA Qualifying short film festival screened recently in Bondi and Perth audiences are the first in Australia to experience the best of Flickerfest on tour.

Doors open at 6.30pm; raise a glass to 30 years of Flickerfest in Perth at the festival's Opening night drinks with delicious Gage Roads craft beer, Rosnay organic wine and sumptuous snacks included. Celebrate the incredible short film talent that exists in our emerging Australian industry with a host of Australian stories honoring our unique identity and culture with our Best Of Australian Shorts programme.

Take a trip around the world with the Best Of International Shorts programme. Amongst a host of international highlights enjoying their Australian premieres are the delightful Belgian film Beautiful Men, about three bald brothers whose trip to Turkey for a hair transplant goes awry, winner of Best Animation at Flickerfest 2025, hot off its nomination for the upcoming Oscars and the delightful and moving Irish short and festival favourite Me And Dad about a boy who finally finds a way through song to melt his fathers heart

Clever comedy also brings joy to the big screen with the Short Laughs Comedy programme of off-kilter Flickerfest shorts from at home and around the world. Don't miss the delicious black Australian comedy Candy Bar from director Nash Edgerton (Mr In Between), written by and starring award winning actor Damon Herriman (Justified, Breaking Bad) and the highly humorous Irish Film The Head On Him about a biracial boys move to small town Ireland and his attempts to tame his afro to fit in, only to find it growing back bigger than ever.

The Luna Outdoor Cinema is located in the courtyard of Luna Leederville,155 Oxford Street, Leederville
