Comedy @ Kindred
Brought back by popular demand and then moved somewhere else and programmed for the night before, we present the first ever Comedy @ Kindred! Come to Kindred Studios in Yarraville and watch some of Melbourne’s most celebrated comics strut their stuff. Or tell jokes. We’re not sure what they’re going to do actually. It’s most likely not for kids though, so maybe get a baby sitter for the evening.

Flik Fest
See your work screened at the Sun Theatre
This year the Yarraville Festival is proud to bring the inaugural Yarraville Film Festival. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to showcase its diversity and versatility through the medium of film.
This year the Film Festival’s theme will be “Made Near Me”. In a time when local manufacturing and creativity has never been more celebrated and yet paradoxically are threatened by a changing economic landscape the Festival’s organisers hope this encourages film makers to explore things that are made in and around Yarraville. Whether it’s locally grown produce, a small manufacturer, a big employer, a craftsman or artisan, there is a rich vein of material for directors to mine.
When: Sunday, 15th February 2014 @ 12pm
Where: The Sun Theatre in Yarraville.
