The 28th Flickerfest International Short Film Festival is thrilled to announce the full list of short films officially selected into the Academy® Accredited and BAFTA recognised competitions for 2019. Over 10 thrilling days, Flickerfest, a beloved Sydney summer institution will once again delight audiences with the very best in short films from Australia and around the world, screened under the stars at the iconic Bondi Pavilion in January.

2700 entries from over 100 countries have been received for Flickerfest 2019; a testimony to the fact that Flickerfest is one of the world's leading and most respected platforms for short film. From this large entry field only around 200 of the very best most creative and inspiring shorts will be screened at the Festival.

Always an audience favourite, the Australian program includes some brilliant entries in 2019. Key highlights include the Australian premieres of Desert Dash, written, directed and starring Gracie Otto, which takes a fun and slightly twisted look at what life would be life in the Aussie outback if it was all just a game, and the Australian premiere of Ghost Bear, a moving and though-provoking animation for kids by the legendary Actor/Comedian Paul McDermott a Flickerfest veteran whose previous animations have featured and won at Flickerfest and have gone on to win awards internationally.

The international program will feature the Australian Premiere of French film, Rise of A Star, starring legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve, which explores the life of a new Ballerina who's dark secret threatens to undermine what she has spent a whole life on, and Norwegian comedy, To Plant a Flag, starring Jason Schwartzman, known for his frequent collaborations with Wes Anderson, such as Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Flickerfest screens a vast array of film styles and genres and is proud to be bringing back beloved showcase categories such as FlickerKids—a full day of delightful family programming, Rainbow Shorts, featuring the highest quality LGBTIQ+ shorts from around the world, Short Laughs—a program of pure joy and side-splitting laughs, Love Bites—juicy stories about relationships, as well as the special FlickerUp National Youth Competitions for talented Australian filmmakers under 18.

Each year Flickerfest drops an irreverent and hilarious Official Trailer, and 2019 is no different!
