LOCALS - Encore Screening

In just 2 weeks our LOCALS screening sold out.

We are thrilled to announce this encore screening the weekend following our CDoc Festival.

LOCALS is our short-form documentary competition celebrating the grassroots filmmakers and stories of Central Victoria, and this year it returns for its fifth year with another extraordinary lineup...

Elephants, underpants. 8mm film, a legendary community lunch, the art of deathwork. stand-up comedy, the Harcourt fires, lost trades rediscovered, and more.

This year’s jury, Katie Mitchel, Keiran Watson-Bonnice and Noora Niasari, are some of the most thoughtful and experienced filmmakers around. We’re so grateful to have them.

LOCALS is made possible with the generous support of @themillcastlemaine, a creative hub of over 40 makers full of creativity, culture and taste - much-loved by locals and visitors alike.

We thank them for their continued support of what has become our regular festival highlight.
