Flickerfest
I went to Bondi Beach last night for the opening night of this year’s Flickerfest Short Film Festival. A short film I produced from my story AMERICAN FARM ’44 was chosen as one of the four opening night features. The title of the short is THE TELEGRAM MAN.
The festival was intended to take place outdoors but just as we all took our seats the rain began and we had to move indoors, which was a bit of a shame but everyone took it in good stride. Of the 4 films shown on the night, my favourite was a witty story of a father and son at a parent-teachers night called Bee Sting, which starred Brendan Cowell whose debut novel HOW IT FEELS is the best thing I’ve read in Australia so far.
The festival continues in Sydney until 16 January and then tours Australia until the end of March so if you happen to be in Oz, you can catch it somewhere.
