CinefestOZ Film Festival will be the first large scale event to be held at the Undalup Room, located in the new City of Busselton Civic and Administration centre.
The building’s Undalup Room will replace the CinefestOZ Festival Marquee formerly located at Victoria Square.
The room will be used by CinefestOZ for IndigifestOZ Day, Cinesnaps Schools Day, Film Prize finalist films’ before and after parties and other festival events.
CinefestOZ Festival Chair Helen Shervington said the new Civic and Administration Centre provided a wonderful space for CinefestOZ’s 10th anniversary celebrations.
“We are excited that the City of Busselton has finally got such a wonderful community space that can be utilised by CinefestOZ and other community-based organisations throughout the year,” Ms Shervington said.
“We can’t wait to make the most of the Undalup Room, which we will bring to life during our five-day festival. Audiences are going to be delighted with this new venue and what it has to offer.”
City of Busselton Mayor Grant Henley was excited about the upcoming events.
“Council is absolutely delighted to welcome CinefestOZ to the Undalup Room for this year’s festival,” he said.
“This high profile homegrown film festival provides the perfect opportunity to showcase the beautiful new community function centre at the Civic and Administration centre.
“We wish the organisers, participants and event goers all the best for truly wonderful festival.”
Early Bird tickets to CinefestOZ’s 10th program go on sale July 7.
