The Inaugural Benalla Festival saw 10 entries included in the screening in 2014, with Australian Actor, Mr. Tom Burlinson officially opening the evening via a video presentation.
Unforeseen circumstances prevented the 2nd Festival in 2015 from being run, but it was only put on hold until February 2016.
The 2016 event saw 15 films accepted and screened, with the Friends of BPACC again the main sponsors.
We welcome a new sponsor – North East Artisans – for the 2017 Festival.
