The winners of the 2023 Fleurieu Film Festival were announced on Saturday night.
Under a Fleurieu night sky, filmmakers and fans enjoyed food and wine among the vines at the picturesque McLaren Vale and Fleurieu Coast Visitor Centre. Opened by the Hon Andrea Michaels MP, Minister for the Arts, the festival screened twelve finalist short films by emerging filmmakers with a theme of gift, followed by the presentation of awards across thirteen categories.
