Celebrating 35 years in 2026, Flickerfest remains Australia’s leading Academy® Qualifying and BAFTA Recognised short film festival, ensuring that we continue to present A-list short film programmes recognised amongst the best in the world with films hand-picked from the festival’s record 3,700+ entries!

Flickerfest, Australia’s largest Short Film Festival, is excited to be returning on its National Tour to The Peacock Theatre in Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart, showcasing the Best of Australian Shorts and Best of International Shorts programme highlights from our recent Bondi festival competitions.

The short films screening are all entertaining, inspiring, award-winning and fresh from their premieres in competition at Flickerfest Bondi, giving Hobart Flickerfest audiences a window into the hottest contemporary shorts from at home and across the world today.

Friday 19th June 8:00pm, take a trip around the world with the Best Of International Shorts programme. Among a host of international highlights enjoying their Australian premieres is the Oscar-winning The Singers, a powerful and intimate film featuring an eclectic cast of non-actors in a moving tribute to friendship. Also the delightful Oscar-nominated A Friend of Dorothy, starring UK acting royalty Miriam Margolyes and Stephen Fry, in a heartwarming journey where friendship is found in the most unexpected places. Joining them is Indonesian film My Plastic Mother, winner of Flickerfest 2026 Best International Short Film, Radix, winner of Best International Animation, a visually striking and imaginative animated short and actress Renee Zellweger’s directorial debut They, a fun film about coming together in trying times.
