Floppy fringe
Tropfest is about as thrilling a destination as the cafe that spawned it, however many years ago. But in possibly the clearest sign it’s become a big ticket festival, the short film showcase has inspired a fringe event that’s notched up six or seven eight years itself. Not sure if they’d like to be known as a Tropfest Fringe, but there it is.
Same day as Tropfest (Sunday, February 17) and running since 2001, the festival uses battery powered video projectors with sound simulcast on FM radio - bring your battery powered radio. And if you’ve got a film/video, send it to Squatspace (PO BOX 391 Newtown NSW 2042). Click on the pic above for all details.
If you want something DIY but a little live-er, then the Imperial Panda festival at various Surry Hills galleries will be on the cards. Indie theatre and DJs will abound. This weekend, check the pic below for all details.
