Under the dynamic guidance of new Artistic Director, Richard Moore, who helmed the Melbourne International Film Festival from 2007 to 2010, the 2013 season boasts a greatly expanded programme incorporating Q&A with filmmaker David Brooks, live performance, and premiere screenings that has been designed to give audiences of all ages both a local and international film experience. And with single session ticket prices set at just $10 and $12, it also provides some of the best entertainment value in town!
The Festival will launch with the world premiere of AN ICEBERGER WITH THE LOT – FROM BURY TO BRIGHTON, an inherently Bayside story featuring maverick personality and Brighton Iceberger, David Brooks, as he explores the joys and politics of cold water swimming - armed with nothing more than a bathing cap and a pair of speedos - from the Iceberger's base at Middle Brighton Baths.
Closing night will see the Australian premiere of the French drama, ON MY WAY (screening courtesy of Umbrella Entertainment), starring screen legend, Catherine Deneuve, as a former beauty queen who embarks on a road trip in the aftermath of an unhappy love affair.
