The fourth Stinkwater! Short Film Festival turns international as we call for films from around the world. And what better place for an international film festival than the fabulous surrounds of the Ritz Cinema, Randwick, one of the few original Art Deco cinemas left in Sydney.

This year we have a special guest at Stinkwater! Charles “Bud” Tingwell is a judge of the film festival (and grew up in Coogee) and to celebrate his life and career in the arts, we’re presenting Bud with a Lifetime Achievement award, as well as the inaugural “Walk of Fame” plaque in the sidewalk outside the Ritz Cinema. Join celebrities from the arts world as we pay homage to one of the most distinguished actors in Australia.
