Flickerfest 2024 – Financial Assistance

The Flickerfest International Short Film Festival is a long running high profile event conducted at the Bondi Pavilion. The event supports and gives a platform to Australian short filmmakers across multiple program streams and alongside international short films.

Flickerfest is proposed to return to the Pavilion for 10 days in January 2024. As Flickerfest is a registered private company entity, Council is required to publicly exhibit its proposal to grant financial assistance for 28 days under section 356(2) of the Local Government Act 1993.

It is proposed that Council engages in the following financial arrangement with Flickerfest to deliver its International Short Film Festival in 2024:

  • Provides a grant to the value of $195,869 comprising $61,890 direct and $133,979 in-kind costs (refer to Table 1 in the pdf below for the breakdown of items).
  • Receives an $8,000 cash and $20,00 in-kind contribution from Flickerfest.
