Australian Film Festival will present a series of events in Sydney between 7th and 17th March

In its third year, the Australian Film Festival  will offer Sydneysiders a chance to get their hands dirty in the world of film with a range of seminars, workshops and outdoor screenings between 7-17 March.

Across 11 days, Clovelly Beach will play venue to a Saturday night screening of Red Dog, starring Josh Lucas and Rachael Taylor. Film editing and screenwriting classes will be held, a short film competition will be judged and a lineup of fabulous local films will be screened. And just to ensure there are no white spaces in the diary, Deborah Mailman and Barry Otto will be inducted into the Australian Walk of Fame and also receive plaques on the footpath outside Randwick’s old Ritz Cinema.

There will also be a discussion panel from the Australian Directors Guild’s, where  Kerry Armstrong, Rowan Woods and other directors will talk shop for a couple of hours.
