STEP into a world where real-life stories are wilder than fiction\u2014right in the heart of Castlemaine this July.<\/p>\n

The Castlemaine Documentary Festival isn’t your usual cinema trip.

When night falls, we crank it up: silent-film masterpiece Man With a Movie Camera gets a live electronic music score with beloved Melbourne band, Underground Lovers Moda Discoteca, and on Saturday, the boundary-blurring hybrid doco-musical Reas transforms a Buenos Aires women’s prison into a stage of song and dance, followed by the local glam-pop band, Sugar Fed Leopards.<\/p>\n
