A coalition of regional cinema lovers and seasoned industry professionals decided in early 2013 to incorporate the very first
Castlemaine Local and International Film Festival (CLIFF), bringing decades of film industry experience and a fiery passion for cinema
to fruit in the Victorian cosmopolitan regional hub of Castlemaine.
Packed with local, indigenous and international cinema, the inaugural Castlemaine Local and International Film Festival promises to be the most engaging film festival in the
country.
Prioritising strong narrative, stellar casts, and global stories, CLIFF has been curated with storytelling as the key focus. Power packed, fun and challenging, the CLIFF suite of selections encompasses features, documentaries, short films, local film competitions and an array of discussions and activities throughout the program.
*Be challenged by the provocative films of ‘enfant terrible’ bad boy of Aboriginal art Richard Bell (introduced by Gary Foley) that revise mainstream assumptions on race and cut to heart of difficult conversations.
*Be entertained by Skyhooks bassist Greg Macainsh’s 1974 classic Sharpie, where Greg himself will introduce the film.
*Taste the delight of South Korean food and lovers’ epic The Recipe.
*Exclusive Australian screenings of Paul Schrader’s controversial The Canyons, masterful Hungarian surveillance drama The Exam and many others.
*A devastating critique of the west, smuggled out of North Korea (Propaganda, North Korea 2012).
*Falling on the 50th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy assassination, CLIFF is proud to present the Australian premiere of a rare and provocative documentary feature, expert guests and original artifacts from the scene of the JFK assassination crime. Shrouded in question, rumour and conspiracy this session encourages open discussion and is guaranteed to draw intense press interest both locally and from metro press providers.
*A screening of the 1950’s classic Forbidden Planet coincides with a sci-fi kids disco and a robot-making workshop.
*Capping off the event we reward the hard work of local adult and children filmmakers by screening and awarding the local film competitions.
