HILARIOUS, HANDMADE, INTENSE, ENTERTAINING, RARE AND ROCKIN’.

It’s arrived.  The film festival you’ve been waiting for.

CarriageWorks, Sydney’s newest centre for contemporary arts, presents the inaugural Destination Film Festival.  Three Saturday afternoons of film + talk, curated by Megan Spencer (Triple J, SBS’s The Movie Show). Launching on Saturday 24 November, each week will present a program of dynamic, unique films from everywhere - Australia, the rest of the world, and cyber-space. The films are followed by a panel discussion with film-junkies of all types from the yolk and fringe of Australia’s film industry. 

DestFest is a showcase of new and old films, and the obsession with GOOD FILM. Spencer has uncovered cutting edge new films that are exploring and pushing the boundaries of contemporary film-making. There are also rare, lost and unseen shorts that have been liberated from garages and bottom drawers of the industry’s most innovative and creative film-makers. 

Through the DestFest Panel discussions, CarriageWorks will create a much-needed, rare, fertile space for ideas and discussion for film-makers and film-lovers. Candid debate will be encouraged, with Megan Spencer at the helm. The industry is changing, film-makers are evolving, and we will explore the new movement towards technologically advanced film-making and distribution methods, and how the film world is adapting with the times. 

 See the films, hear the talk, meet the film-makers, be involved… Dest Fest.
