CinefestOz comes to The Vantage at Vasse Open Weekend!

The CinefestOZ Film Festival is coming to The Vantage at Vasse to screen three Australian films across the lifestyle resort’s Open Weekend on 27–28 August, which will showcase its new clubhouse, including the club lounge and cinema, to the local community.

CinefestOZ Film Festival is part of a program of small to medium events devised by the Western Australian Government to boost tourism, increase community vibrancy and participation, and develop regional areas. The Vantage at Vasse is keen to support this initiative by screening three compelling Australian stories and opening the door to its over-50s lifestyle resort.

The Open Weekend is an exclusive opportunity to step inside, mingle with the locals and celebrate both The Vantage at Vasse over 50s lifestyle community and Australian cinema. The Vantage at Vasse will screen The Naked Wanderer at 11am and The Song Keepers at 1pm on Saturday 27 August, and The Pinkies are Back at 11am on Sunday 28 August.

The cinema at The Vantage at Vasse is located within the new $3 million state-of-the-art clubhouse that officially opened in May 2021. The clubhouse spans three wings, including a heated indoor swimming pool, space to play bowls and a club lounge with a fireplace for homeowners to enjoy.

Serenitas CEO Rob Nichols says, “The Vantage at Vasse has been designed to create socialising opportunities for our homeowners, either through organised activities or serendipitous encounters. The key to our community’s wellbeing is ensuring these engagement opportunities are possible by providing facilities that are welcoming, warm and useable. Its first-class cinema is the perfect venue to screen the CinefestOZ films as well as showcase our facilities to our Busselton community.”

CinefestOZ Film Festival Chair Margaret Buswell says, “Over the last two years we have all been forced to absorb much of our regular film diet on small screens: phones, tablets and TVs. But it is the community aspect of the big-screen experience that exhilarates and captivates us most, and there has never been a better time to watch Australian stories in a cinema together.“

With thanks to local sponsors Hanson Property, Vasse Village and Vasse Estate, the Vantage at Vasse lifestyle resort Open Weekend will offer a free community sausage sizzle, wine tastings, grazing boards, film screenings and even a special performance from the Busselton Brass Band!

Join in the fun on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 August between 10am and 5pm both days.
