Stellar Short Film Festival

Saturday 28 February

Stellar returns for one unmissable night of award winning Australian short films under the stars. Curated by invitation only, the program brings together standout films from across the country, a true “best of the best” experience.

Set amongst striking sculptures and native bushland, the festival blends cinema, culture and atmosphere in a truly unique setting. Arrive early for locally produced food, drinks and live entertainment before settling in on the lawn or elevating your night in the VIP Lounge.

The evening concludes with the presentation of handcrafted glass awards by local artist Leisa Wharington, celebrating excellence across categories including Best Film, Rising Star and Audience Choice.

Founded and directed by women and powered by a passionate volunteer team, Stellar has become a much loved cultural moment on the Mornington Peninsula. Premium, welcoming and above all, unforgettable.
