collaborate with FRESHFLIX
Since it’s inaugural event in a cliffside backyard in Freshwater, Freshflix has run eleven pop up film festival events, including two Emerging Film Conferences, in unique locations in Sydney, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Wollongong. Freshflix exists to;
- Support emerging filmmakers in the early stages of their career
- Promote diversity within the Australian film & screen industries
- Contribute to creative screen culture and alternative nightlife in our cities

Freshflix events are a deliberate step outside of the traditional film festival format, by showcasing quality film talent in breweries, warehouses, cellar doors and creative spaces. With a solid dose of live music, live art, good food and drinks, handcrafted awards and a seriously laid back attitude, a Freshflix night is a party with your new best friends, with excellent films as a bonus.
