Festival chair on the move

IN the lead up to the inaugural North Bellarine Film Festival, the event’s iconic yellow director’s chair is being photographed around the region as part of a competition.

The photos are being posted on the festival’s Facebook page and those who guess one of the locations will go in the running for two free tickets to opening night.

The festival will run from November 17 to 19 and feature four international films.

A program of free activities and films will also be part of the festival weekend. Australian short films, international animation and a children’s film will be highlighted along with a display of virtual reality films and drones.

The Potato Shed in Drysdale will be the festival hub with other activities and films being screened at the Portarlington Neighbourhood House.

An academic film symposium will be staged in Park’s Hall, Portarlington before opening night.

A free bus service will be available for all evening films, shuttling patrons from St Leonards, Indented Head and Portarlington to Drysdale.

Details are available at nbff.live or at all City of Geelong Service Centres and the Potato Shed, where tickets are on sale now. Phone ticket sales are available on
