Australia's greatest short film festival, the St Kilda Film Festival, is gearing up for 2013 and in preparation has announced that this year it will partner with the SXSW Film Festival to deliver several sidebar programs of incredible awesomeness and power. I'm paraphrasing but that's the general drift.
Claudette Godfrey, the SXSW shorts programmer, will curate four programs for St Kilda in 2013: two best-of selections, and programs devoted to Texas shorts and music videos. SXSW has been a great supporter of Australian music videos over the past few years and this latter program in particular should be a great accompaniment to the already brilliant SoundKILDA sidebar.
Godfrey will also attend the festival, which runs from May 23 to June 1, 2013 at the Astor Theatre (pictured above). Stay tuned for more details including the full program.
