Home grown short films are on display as well as music at the Homebake Festival with the Homebake Cinema Pavilion.
Award-winning short films have been selected to screen alongside musical acts Grinderman, The Triffids, Cut Copy and Gotye and Icehouse performing Flowers.
Filmmaker Kieran Darcy-Smith has made the selection.
Expect early short films by filmmakers David Michod (Animal Kingdom), Glendyn Ivin (Last Ride, Offspring), Nash Edgerton (The Square), Gregor Jordan (Two Hands), Warwick Thornton (Samson and Delilah) and Greg McLean (Wolf Creek).
Darcy-Smith told Encore: “I’ve found short films from filmmakers who have gone on to do much better things, as a way of providing inspiration. They might be ten years old but you can see the creative signature.”
“I also try and uncover films that I think are indicative of a great team of filmmakers, people who I think should be encouraged to do more.”
