LOCALS
Short films by filmmakers with a strong connection to Central Victoria, selected by an independent jury and screened to a full Theatre Royal. It has sold out year after year, and it is the night the festival is proudest of.

Season 6 starts 14 October
The season opens with a LOCALS screening at the Phee Broadway Theatre on Wednesday 14 October, 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
