The Broken River Arthouse showcases a selection of local, independent short films and highlights the passionate and hard-working artists behind them, focusing on exposure rather than competition.
Benalla Shorts a big success
This will be the Arthouse’s inaugural event and will include three films from Benalla and district filmmakers.
“I have always wanted to show my own films in a setting that was all about the love of film, not about winning awards or prize money, but none existed,” Mr Johnson said.
A highlight of which will be a screening of the widely publicised and highly acclaimed Clipped Wings, which was selected for the Benalla Shorts festival.
Mr Johnson said the night of local movies would conclude with a discussion panel featuring the filmmakers, who would speak about the craft, their process and the experience of being on set.
