2017 Waranga Film Festival
23 - 25 Jun 2017
The Rushworth Shire Hall has many attributes, it is aesthetically beautiful and historically charming, but there is one thing the Shire Hall has that is not so obvious. Above the ceiling and hidden from view at the back of the hall is a small and darkened room full to the brim with some rare and interesting equipment. This little room holds the vintage remnants of the once popular Shepparton Drive-In which closed in 2005.
Lucky for Rushworth, one of our local entrepreneurs, Brendan Hawking saw the opportunity to acquire the 35 mm reel to reel equipment and started showing films both as outdoor cinema and at the Shire Hall. In recent years, the equipment gathered some dust and Brendan considered removing it from the projectionist suite until a small group of over-enthusiastic community members seized the opportunity to revive the town asset and embrace the task of co-ordinating a winter film festival.
