Here’s some fantastic news – the hottest new event on the entertainment calendar is coming to Frankston City!

Created by three friends – Carly, Jasmine and Sarah – the Stellar Short Film Festival is a premium outdoor festival being held on Saturday, March 3, on the lawns of the stunning McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery in Langwarrin.

Stellar will showcase the best award-winning Australian short films from 2017, with entries by invitation only. Films will compete on the night for prizes, with winners selected by a panel of judges made up of high-profile creatives, as well as an audience choice award.  The charismatic Stellar MC is actor/producer/director/writer Scott Major, and there’s an exciting line-up of judges to be announced in the coming weeks.

General admission ticket holders can relax with an afternoon of musical entertainment from DJ Nige – complete with his 1970 Kombi van – as well as play lawn games or wander around the park before enjoying the films and their gourmet picnic pack. VIP ticket holders will indulge in a cocktail-style dinner party with drinks before the screenings, plus receive a gourmet show bag, have access to the indoor gallery, a VIP bar, special entertainment, reserved seating, and an invitation to the Stellar after-party.

There’ll be a mini dessert market featuring mouthwatering gourmet-flavoured popcorn, cookies, fudge, cupcakes and more from local producers, as well as a selection of local wines, beers, and coffee available for purchase.

Stellar is proudly supported by major sponsor Illumin8, the Mount Eliza accounting firm with a whole lot of personality. Tickets are on sale now at stellarshortfilmfestival.com.au and make the ultimate ‘Stellar’ Christmas present.
