Heart of Gold International Film Festival returns with its 13th edition, running from October 27 – 30 in Gympie, two hours north of Brisbane.
The festival is an unique mix of charming country town tradition with international arts culture for an experience unlike anything else on the national festival scene. Alongside 4 days of international and Australian short films, the festival will host a future of cinema pavilion with VR and video art works, and an outdoor festival hub featuring live music & storytelling with a focus on film, First Nations storytelling & the environment.
“This year we’re extending that heart of gold spirit into a range of new programming that will really fill out the festival experience,” explains festival director Jackson Lapsley Scott. “You’ll be able to spend full days at the festival – waltzing between film premieres, crazy VR experiences, talks from great speakers, food truck eats, and music-filled evenings chatting with filmmakers from across the country.”
