St. Kilda Film Festival returns to Mount Beauty

The St. Kilda Film Festival returns to Mount Beauty on Saturday 29th July in the Mount Beauty Community Centre at 8 p.m. Showcasing Australia’s emerging cinema, 14 top short films will be shown. Films from 6 minutes to 14 minutes long, dramas, comedies, mysteries, animations and fantasies, will enthrall the audience.

Award Winners are shown in the first half of the show, and Director’s Choice films in the second. As the films haven’t been classified, under 15s should be accompanied by an adult. 

The Festival is an Academy Award qualifying event, and Upper Kiewa Valley Regional Arts is pleased to be bringing the Festival to Mount Beauty once again.

The usual bar will be open before the show and at interval. 

Tickets at $15 are available at Mount Beauty Hardware and Drapery, on-line at trybooking.com or at the door. 8:00 p.m. Saturday, July 29th at the Mount Beauty Community Centre.

For further information, contact Rollo Kiek, ph: 03 57541750.

As of today, we have 49 completed responses, we need a minimum of 100!  If this could be a priority early term 3 that would be great!

If we don’t get to 100 surveys, we will only receive a generic Australia wide report, not an individualised report specific to Alpine.

May I say a big thanks to those that have been able to have students complete the Mission Australia survey.  Your support in this is greatly appreciated, however time will soon run out on us – closing 11th August.

We don't want you to miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable insights about the views and experiences of your young people on a range of important topics, that are specific to youth in Alpine Shire. Survey link is below to share with your young people, or as many indicated they maybe able to complete in home room or another time.  Must use the code 28002.

The online survey takes about 20 minutes to complete and allows young people aged 15 to 19 a voice to share their views and lead discussion on issues concerning them.
