Space Girls ON FILM lands in Gympie for a night of cinema, live music, and community

Gympie will play host to a bold new collaboration on June 26, 2026, when two celebrated festivals join forces for ‘ON FILM’ in the Gympie Music Hall at 26 Channon Street Gympie from 6pm.

The event brings together Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival and Space Girls Festival for an event dedicated to building community and showcasing women's and LGTBQI+ voices in film and music. The night promises to be equal parts celebration, storytelling, and rocking music.

Doors open at 6:00 PM for a program of short films that turn the lens on identity and screen queens and live music from Lattes for M.I.L.F’s, a Sunnycoast three piece grunge/punk/rock wrecking ball. The Gympie Music Hall will transform into a pop-up cinema and performance space, offering a warm, accessible setting for an audience where all are welcome.

"Space Girls ON FILM is about creating a night where everyone feels welcome—whether you're a film lover, a music fan, or just looking for something interesting and creative," said Cindy Vogels, Founder and Co-Director of Space Girls Festival. "We're thrilled to bring these two festivals together in a relaxed, unpretentious space where stories and music can shine."

Tickets are limited and just $5 per person for under 25 years. The event is 13+ or with a parental guardian, with an emphasis on inclusivity, creativity, and community connection.

We love the films we share at our Festival so much that we hit the road and brought them to you this May!

Heart of Gold International Short Film Festival shows carefully curated and brilliant short films from around the world at our multi-day festival held annually in Gympie, Queensland.

We selected some highlights from our 2025 festival program and shared them with audiences in regional Queensland during May for our 2026 ON TOUR program.

With eight locations and four sold out shows, we had such a great time and are already planning a tour in 2027.

The places we went after our sell out show in Gympie…

  • The beautiful Paragon Theatre in Childers - well worth a visit!

  • Biggenden and Goomeri

  • Maleny, and a great audience thank you!

  • Cooran - we couldn’t fit another person into that hall!

  • Nambour, another sell out!

  • Eumundi, a lovely hall and audience to finish the tour with.

Thanks to Screen Queensland for supporting our 2026 tour.
