The screening is available to all members of the public and will be held at 7pm this Friday, February 17.
The first-time event was organised through the Macleay Valley Arts Council and includes the best films from primary and high schools across Australia.
Organiser Steve McDonald said the screening could provide inspiration for young local aspiring filmmakers – encouraging young creatives to start making films of their own.
“It’s a great opportunity for local students to be able to see classy films and provide ideas for local film productions,” Mr McDonald said.
The screening will feature the ‘best primary school production’ award-winning film from Table Cape Primary School in Wynyard Tasmania.
The film, titled, ‘Grandma’s gift’ follows the story of Jasmine Hanson’s grandma, who owns an untouched pink dotted box whose contents had remained a mystery to Jasmine. Will she ever find out what is inside the box?
For those who can’t make it to ‘Flicker Up’, there will be a screening of the best international films at Gladstone community hall on Saturday, February 18.
The screening will include the award-winning film ‘Timecode’, which received a special mention for the best EU film at Flickerfest this year. The film is also short-listed for the 2017 Oscars.
Flickerfest began as a small local festival in 1991 and has grown to become Australia’s leading short film festival, attracting thousands of entries from across the globe.
Tickets for the event will be available through Aldavilla Public School office and at the door. Ticket cost will be $10 for adult and child; $20 for two adults and family.
