FESTIVAL ON A BUDGET

For those who have become accustomed to travelling in style, buying a Festival pass is hassle free and ensures priority seating at all events. However cinephiles working to a low budget can still satiate their appetites for great Aussie movies for next to nothing. If the Swagman or Drover Pass is equivalent to your rent money don't forget the Jumbuck, priced at the special rate of $50.

Here's the scoop on attending on a shoestring:

· The noon Seminars at the Country Women Association are free.
· The 'Pulse: Filmmakers of Tomorrow' program is free.
· The How Green Is My Film Industry? panel is free.

(Note: All individual tickets go on sale ten minutes before screening if there are seats available after passholders have been seated).
