Bucking the trend for summer festivals, Lorne Arts Festival is back for its fifth year and with a killer program in tow (August 28-30). Proving that the coast is where it’s at, this year sees a breadth of events that showcase some of Australia’s best cabaret, sideshow, circus, theatre, comedy, visual art and music events.
A highlight of the program is Black Panther Woman (directed and produced by Rachel Perkins) which recounts Marlene Cummins’ experience in the first and only Australian Black Panthers chapter, the abuses she suffered from men within the Indigenous community and her need to break a 40-year silence. The film will screen only once on Saturday August 29 at 2.30pm.
