Click to watch a trailer of The Favourite By Marny Javornik
NOT too many small Australian towns can boast an international film festival but Wonthaggi’s returns this weekend for its ninth year.
The 2019 Wonthaggi International Film Festival opens at 7pm tonight with the The Favourite, Yorgos Lanthimos’s offbeat take on the story of Anne, Queen of Great Britain, and the two young women who vie for her favours.
The film is gorgeous to watch and has won multiple international film awards, including an Academy Award for best actress, Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival and a BAFTA award for the Best British film.
Dress up and come at 6pm to enjoy the red carpet and bar before the film.

The Wonthaggi film festivals were the initiative of former Wonthaggi Cinema manager Keith Stevens. We are grateful to Keith for establishing a reputation for fine films in Wonthaggi. It was from those beginnings that the Bass Coast Fine Film Group started more than 10 years ago and has gone from strength to strength.
Since Keith’s retirement two years ago, Bass Coast Shire has run the cinema and been responsible for programming of the film festivals, monthly fine films, the holiday film program and most recently the special programs of Wednesday films.
The full program, trailers and information on each film is available on the Bass Coast Fine Film Group website. Tickets are available at the box office. Adults $15, children, concession and BCFFG members $10.
