Attention all film buffs, there's a one-night short film festival coming to the beautiful grounds of the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery in Langwarrin. Tickets for the festival are now on sale and we have an exclusive 50% off discount code for all WeekendNotes readers!

The Stellar Short Film Festival will be held on the evening of the Saturday 3 March on the lawns of the beautiful McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery.



This is an opportunity for you to enjoy some of the best Australian short films in an exclusive one-night event.

The good folks behind the festival have carefully curated an exciting program of 'Stellar 12' films. Such films have been selected for their quality and enjoyment, many the recipients of multi-award wins. Such films include a contender for one of this year's Academy Awards! ('The Eleven O'Clock').

In a positive sign of the times, 50% of the directors of the 'Stellar 12' chosen films are female! Film submissions to Stellar are by invitation only, with the criteria that selected films must have won an award in an Australian film festival in the past year.


Enjoy a night of thought-provoking and highly entertaining films in the serene grounds of the McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, which is home to over 100 outdoor sculptures within 16 hectares of Australian bushland.

Food and beverages will be available to buy on the night. General admission ticket holders will provide you with a gourmet picnic pack comprising of a delicious filled baguette, a selection of tasty salads and a bottle of water, all included as part of your entry fee (gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options available).

There will be a mini dessert market with sweet treats from carefully selected local producers including Little Olive coffee van, Once Upon A Pie and Vespa Gelateria, as well as a selection of local wines, beers and cocktails from Dainton Brewery and Dromana Estate available to purchase from the slick mobile Brixton Bar.
