Castlemaine Documentary Festival opens this Friday.
For opening night LOCALS returns and attendees will once again enjoy a wonderful selection of creative short-form storytelling from locals of Castlemaine and surrounds.
In 2022 Castlemainians of all ages and experience produced an impressive slate of short documentaries to play on the festival’s opening night. The Theatre Royal was packed to the rafters with an eager audience ready to experience what the local talent had to offer.
In 2023 LOCALS is back with another selection of documentary shorts made by locals of Castlemaine and surrounds.
Thirteen local filmmakers will present a diverse range of intriguing stories up on the big screen. Once again, the colour and diversity of local voices is set to impress.
From explorations of ‘What Makes a Local’ to a ‘moment of nature and its innate choreography’, contemplations of the ‘power of kindness in the context of a Truck Show’ and insight into the creative process behind dance troup Lady Fun Times and the birth of Castlemaine Fringe, LOCALS 2023 definitely celebrates a rich and vibrant community.
Go along to hear local stories told by local voices at the festival’s opening night. Bookings via cdocff.com.au
