VICTORIA’S ICONIC FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS WITH A SPECTACULAR TWIST!

Peninsula Film Festival, proudly supported by Lexus of Brighton, returns January 9–11 with an Exciting New Line-Up and Venues.

The iconic Peninsula Film Festival is set to dazzle the Mornington Peninsula this summer when it returns for its 15th edition from Friday, January 9 to Sunday, January 11.

This year’s festival promises a refreshed and exciting format, launching with a screening of Melbourne-made Documentary, Pellegrini’s, a short film festival under the Silver Circus Big Top, and a hands on filmmaking workshop held at the region’s newest creative venue — The Broadway (Rosebud).

The festival kicks off in style at Rosebud Cinema with the Melbourne documentary Pellegrini’s by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Lotito. This film celebrates the spirit and legacy of Melbourne’s iconic café, exploring friendship, resilience and Italian-Australian culture. Follow this will be a screening of the the award-winning short film, The Widow, an Italo-Australian noir gangster classic.

Come and enjoy some drinks, nibbles, and a Q&A with Frank Lotito and Brendan Young following the screening.

Tickets: $25pp, includes refreshments.
