Now in its 10th successful year, the Canberra International Film Festival will be the biggest and most exciting cinematic fiesta ever staged in Canberra. It will be held in the heart of the city at Electric Shadows from Thursday 26 October to Sunday 5 November.
The 2006 Festival promises to be one of the biggest yet. Programming is well underway with films from Germany, the USA, Russia, Brazil, Argentina and China. In 2005, the Canberra International Film Festival featured 24 films from 16 countries, 11 of which were Australian premieres.
The Festival boasts an abundance of entertainment to suit everyone with a thrilling collection of quality international and Australian films. The subject range is vast and ranges from war dramas, refugees’ stories, amazing nature documentaries, and political dramas as well as historical and intriguing documentaries. There are touching romantic dramas, stories of terrorist atrocities and films that celebrate the love and compassion that fires the human spirit.
The Festival has consolidated its place in Canberra’s arts calendar due to creative programming that has brought quirky, thought provoking and original films. This is a festival widely recognised for its ability to program independent films that go on to win coveted prizes and awards, capturing the hearts and minds of festival cinemagoers and ultimately grabbing the attention of a mainstream audience.
The eleven-day festival brings together a large and diverse audience of film lovers, arts enthusiasts and the general public. In addition to attending the screenings, audiences may choose to do a workshop, participate in a seminar or take the opportunity to meet film critics, filmmakers, actors, distributors or other film lovers.
The 2006 Festival program will be announced in early October. For updates and previews of what will be on offer, visit: www.canberrafilmfestival.com.au.
