Best MIFF Shorts

I had hoped to see more of the http://www.melbournefilmfestival.com.au as I had oulined in MIFF List I had got to see one of the list: Between the Lines: India’s Third Gender and on sunday I got to see one more being MIFF shorts.
My memory is a bit sketchy but this is what I remember seeing:

MIFF List

I had seen a few ads for the Melbourne International Film Festival but being the uncultured guy that I am, I didn’t know what to see, so I started looking around the Melbourne blogs to see if anyone else was going and I found out on one of the blogs that I visit that Naridu [...]

Desert Lights

Something for Kate released their latest album on the 1st of July, they are my favourite band, I’m not too sure how they became some of my most often listened to tracks, I just remember listening to some of the first tracks of Elsewhere for 8 minutes and just immediately liking the music. As I [...]

mothersMilk

mothersMilk, now that’s an odd enough name in its self but the place is great even if the location is a bit out of the way from the main party section of chapel street but don’t let that deter you because the bar/lounge as a great feel as you walk in. The use of colours [...]

North By Northwest at The Astor Theatre

I really enjoy going to the Astor Theatre, it is so different to the Village Cinema near my place, and it’s sometimes an adventure to get there because it’s out of the way. The art-deco interior with it’s lighting and furnishings is great, almost feels like an event when you go to a movie there, [...]

Riva St Kilda

Riva is a fantastic place to eat, it’s got a great view across the bay and parking good but most of the time you will have to pay $3 dollars to park.
I didn’t feel too out of place so I wouldn’t consider it too posh although main’s can cost about $25+. I’ve been twice to [...]

SFK at Prince of Wales

Something for Kate have been my favourite band ever since I heard their first album (Elsewhere for 8 Minutes) back in 1997.
I love going to see them live, the best judge of a bands’ quality (if you like their music of course) is if they sound better or worse live compared to their album. SFK [...]

Three Below

Three Below is little a bar that is located at the city square.
City Square
Shop 3 Ground floor
44-86 Swanston St
Melbourne 3000 VIC
The place is rather cosy, and by cosy I don’t mean cramped or small, which is it, but clever use stools and little nooks and well designed seating spaces, lighting and outdoor space. [...]

Yak Bar

Yak Bar is located pretty much on the corner of Flinders Lane and Russel Street (although you enter through Flinders Lane).
There isn’t anything pretencions about the place which I like and it’s not overly large, but big enough.
I didn’t get a chance to sample the food menu but from I heard from friends it was [...]

Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals

Scott Thomas opened the night with his style of acoustic guitar songs, which i kinda like and I think had a very Californian feel to it, the start was a bit shaky but once he got going and let it out it got really good. He turned out to be a rather good warm up [...]
