Feb 14   Joel Sarakula plays on the Nova Sunset Stage before Baz Luhrmann’s "Romeo + Juliet" (for Valentines Day)

The sounds of the ocean, the stars, live music and films – it’s a pretty romantic way to spend an evening. This Valentine’s Day we’re screening the sexy explosive, and cool 1996 Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet.

Special guest Joel Sarakula will play the Nova Sunset stage from 7pm.

'Hearty, sunny piano pop from an actual piano man.' Simone, BEAT Magazine

‘Really catchy and rockin vocals keep it up’ Rosie Beaton, Triple J

Australian singer-songwriter Sarakula writes edgy piano-pop songs that you can’t get out of your head. He has been pursuing the dream of de-constructing the perfect pop song while backing himself confidently at the piano. On his current record 'City Heart' he has dragged his piano-pop kicking and screaming out of his classic vinyl collection and into 2009.

Feb 16 Ashleigh Mannix plays on the Nova Sunset Stage before "Avatar"

This film is far beyond anything you've seen on the screen. It's a fully immersive cinematic experience. Its a live action film with a new generation of special effects taking you a spectacular world beyond imagination. It is incredible.

Ashleigh Mannix is an independent singer songwriter, creating a unique blend of music that is attracting both local and global attention.

As well as local festivals, Ashleigh has performed at the prestigious Fuji Rock Festival in Japan, which led to a record deal with Japan’s Pony Canyon.

She has supported both national and international acts and has just returned from the US and Canada where she was showcased in Toronto and Ann Arbour.

Mar 11  Passenger play the Nova Sunset Stage before “The Road” plays on the big screen 

This thriller is a gripping, dark and grim survival adventure. It’s the story of a father and son ‘s fight for survival in a post-apocalyptic America. If you liked NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN then you’re likely to admire this newer adaptation from the same author, Cormac McCarthy. A score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis tops of the haunting desperation at the films heart.

Mike Rosenberg aka Passenger is an act that has stripped everything back. A classic troubadour cut from the same mould as Van Morrison, Neil Young and John Prine with the ability to flick from the humorous to the heartbreaking with every song.
