Now in its 13th year, the Blue Heeler Film Festival returns, proudly sponsored by Bengalla Mining Company.
This year's theme, Treasure, celebrates Australian short filmmaking through stories that explore what we hold most dear – people, places, and moments in time.
Filmmakers are invited to explore what's truly precious: a grandmother's recipe, a local legend, a sacred stretch of river, a decades-old dance, or the resilience of a community after loss. It's about what is protected, what is passed on, and what is remembered.
Join the, for a magical evening of film, creativity, and community at the 2026 Blue Heeler Film Festival Awards Night. Returning to Two Rivers Wines in Denman, this elegant evening celebrates the power of storytelling.
Guests will walk the blue carpet, enjoy a screening of the finalist films, and witness the presentation of the highly sought-after 'Golden Bluey' awards. With $15,000 in total prize money and a $1,000 gift voucher for Best Local Film, they'll celebrate outstanding talent across three categories.
Seating is free but limited—reservation details will be shared closer to the event
