Films
Bring your picnic rugs, cushions and chairs and get comfortable in front of this enormous, high quality outdoor movie screen, which will feature a range of short films and one feature film, Strictly Ballroom.
The collections of short films have been specially curated by Floriade NightFest organisers as a ‘best-of-the best’ look at each of the genres of family, comedy, animation and Tropfest finalists. This is a unique opportunity as these highlight collections have never been screened before.
Saturday night’s screening of Strictly Ballroom will be equally fantastic, with live big band music to set the scene, ballroom dancing displays and a costume competition for the best aussie film character.
