Akoostik joins forces with Forster Film Festival

A new experience this year at the Akoostik Festival was open air cinema!

Forster Film Festival opened the festival at 6:30pm on Friday evening, 14 October. The short films on offer were entertaining, thought-provoking, and life-affirming; comedy, suspense, pathos and surprise. The films are created all over the world; from Forster to Frankfurt, from WA to NY, from amateur animation to big budget productions.

“The Forster Film Festival fills a growing need for cultural experiences and is a great example of conducting an event with broad appeal,” said Richard Old of Great Lakes Tourism.

“It’s a key annual event for the Great Lakes region and it’s great to see it partnering with the Akoostik Festival. A real treat.”
