Lorne Film's festival arm is returning for 2019 with Opening Night scheduled for Friday July 26 at the iconic LORNE THEATRE.
Set against the unique backdrop of Lorne's natural coastal beauty, the fifth instalment of Lorne Film will build on the growing success of the previous festivals - where film lovers and filmmakers from across Australia descend on Lorne to create a true festival community.
Lorne Film will continue to offer its patrons a wonderful, holistic experience - combining Lorne's lively hospitality, Mediterranean charm, world class accommodation, along with screenings of Australia's best independent films.
LORNE FILM 2019 will continue to build its commitment to the local film industry - underling its simple charter:
AUSTRALIAN. INDEPENDENT.
LORNE FILM 2019 will also feature its now famous (infamous) Opening Night Celebrations, along with screenings at the LORNE THEATRE and the sumptuous CUMBERLAND RESORT AUDITORIUM.
LORNE FILM 2019 will see the return of LORNE THOUGHT - an open access industry forum where filmmakers and film lovers are invited to come together to discuss and celebrate the state of the Australian film landscape.
EAT. DRINK. FILM. SLEEP. REPEAT.
LORNE FILM 2019 - IMMERSE YOURSELF!
