Travelling Film Festival 2021 - Lismore & Murwillumbah
2021-06-04 - 2021-06-06
The Travelling Film Festival (TFF), Australia’s longest running travelling film festival, showcases Australian and international features, documentaries and short films in regional Australia. TFF currently tours to 18 locations annually, screening in the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.
Founded by David Stratton in 1974, the TFF is committed to providing audiences in regional Australia with access to films they would otherwise not have the opportunity to see on the big screen. The TFF presents cinema in a festival environment and promotes a film experience that encourages debate, community involvement and interaction. In addition to screenings, the TFF presents regional Australia with the opportunity to meet film industry professionals through its film industry guest and workshop program, whenever possible. The TFF facilitates a direct and invaluable dialogue between regional audiences, local film practitioners and Australia’s wider film community, an opportunity enthusiastically embraced by all parties.
“One of the great privileges of directing movies is to finally have the opportunity to talk with audiences directly and the people in regional Australia seem pleased that the effort to share and communicate has been made. They feel included in the cultural agenda. That’s a very good thing.” – Peter Duncan, director Unfinished Sky.
The TFF creates a program specific to each location. Films are chosen in consultation with the cinema and/or local film society and where possible, are selected from the previous Sydney Film Festival program with an emphasis on diversity of style, mood and country of origin. The Festival screens over a full weekend; opening on a Friday night complete with an Opening Night function, and continues over Saturday and Sunday, screening a total of nine features and two Australian short films.
“Thanks! Great to have an opportunity to see these films – especially in a remote area.” – a happy filmgoer from Cairns.

Northern Rivers Food Trail 2021
2021-05-01 - 2021-05-02
ANNOUNCEMENT – NORTHERN RIVERS HARVEST FOOD TRAIL WILL RETURN IN 2021!
The Northern Rivers Food Harvest Food Trail, to be held on the weekend of May 1-2 2021, is guaranteed to be a very Northern Rivers experience, reflecting on and celebrating the distinctive provenance of our region’s food. The Trail will offer lots of wonderful eating and drinking experiences, jammed-packed with our most-acclaimed restaurants, producers, farmers and growers.
The Northern Rivers Food Harvest Festival has run each year since 2016. Due to COVID last year the festival was forced to cancel. This year Northern Rivers Food have announced an exciting evolution and have returned to deliver a highly-anticipated Harvest Food Trail self-drive event across the Northern Rivers on the weekend of May 1 – 2.
With 26 food and beverage participants, including two tours, an abundance of seasonal farm-gate produce, three course dining, grower talks, classes, distillery tours, tasting sessions, talks on regenerative farming and demonstrations from the region’s most celebrated chefs, the Northern Rivers Food Trail weekend is packed with both phenomenal food experiences and food for thought.
Highlights include:

agroecology tours at The Farm in Byron Bay;
a farm tour at Brookfarm’s macadamia farm and discussion with Martin Brook, who is a passionate regenerative farmer;
classes, tours and tastings at Cape Byron Distillery, Husk Distillery and Lord Byron Distillery;
Sunday long lunch at Harvest Newrybar;
a Meet the Maker and Pork and Pinot event at Byron at Byron featuring Bangalow Sweet Pork;
Bay Grocer and Beach Byron Bay will have stalls and samples from their favourite local producers;

For those without a car or less keen to travel there are two tours. Playing with Fire Native Foods and Explore Byron Bay have joined forces to offer indigenous tours in the Bangalow Parklands. Delta Kay will take guests along the stunning Byron Creek to discover bush tucker plants, as well as plants used for natural medicine, jewellery, fibre, tools and weapons. There are opportunities to learn some Bundjalung language and may be lucky enough to see Binging the river turtle or Junbung the platypus.
Table Under a Tree will also host a small group tour along the Trail, where you’ll be offered special insights into seasonal, local produce, and the people behind it.
“Part of enjoying the food, is knowing the story…understanding where your food was grown, the regenerative methods the farmer used to produce your food, the families behind the brands and their unique stories. Our Harvest Food Trail offers a self-drive experience like no other where you will develop unique insights into how your food and beverages are produced.
Jump in your car and enjoy the whole farm-to-plate experience. Choose from a food discovery trail of over twenty leading food producers, farms, restaurants, distilleries, breweries and food outlets across the region. Enjoy a leisurely drive at your own pace, choosing your own itineraries over the weekend,” said Anne Briggs, Executive Officer of Northern Rivers Food.
“Our Harvest Food Trail will offer a diverse range of innovative eating and drinking experiences. It will be an entertaining, educational and nourishing weekend for locals and visitors alike.”

We are very proud to present this wonderfully enchanting Classical Ballet treat to our audiences!
3 Performances:
Friday 23rd April at 7:00pm & Saturday 24th April at 2:00pm & 6:30pm
The Little Mermaid is a new work in the Victorian State Ballet (VSB) repertoire.
The ballet follows the narrative based predominately on the story by Hans Christian Andersen. This widely known and much-loved story represented an opportunity to bring to life an underwater world in-habited by myriad sea folk and lively characters.
The choreography by Michelle Cassar de Sierra is a stunning display of classical ballet with elements of physical theatre that magically tell the tale.

The story unfolds in another world where a young mermaid dreams of a life beyond the sea. She bears witness to a shipwreck and comes to aid of a drowning sailor. Having saved his life and having delivered him back to shore, her curiosity is awakened, and throwing caution to the wind, she seeks the council of the wise sea crone who advises her that all gifts come with a warning and grants her the gift of transformation. Re-united with her sailor, she struggles to conform with human ways and quickly discovers life in a palace, chasing a prince, and navigating her new legs is not as easy as she dreamed!

Come and see the magnificent costumes full of vibrant colour, sets and props accentuating the beauty and splendour of this magical place, together with the outstanding skill, artistry & technique of the artists of the Victorian State Ballet.

VSB’s production of The Little Mermaid endeavours to immerse the audience right in amidst the fairy tale classic in a profound experience that is exhilarating, impacting and visually inspiring.

Featuring internationally recognised artists in leading roles in a rich display of outstanding skill! One of the world’s favourite fairy tale classics is retold through a superb production featuring classical ballet skill and choreography which honour the spirit of this magical work – a memorable experience for the whole family!
