The Fleurieu Film Festival is an industry-standard, competitive short film festival held on the Fleurieu Peninsula as an avenue for new and emerging filmmakers to showcase their work. The Festival will contribute to the arts and culture in the region and showcase great food, wine and entertainment. Films from the Festival will form a "roadshow" to be screened in towns in the Fleurieu Peninsula, to spread excellent and enjoyable entertainment to those unable to attend the major outdoor event. The main Gala event is held on an early Saturday in February.
