Stab Premium members, here’s one for the calendar.

Taylor Steele, the the brain behind the Momentum films, is offering a chance to attend the Solento Film Festival in Burleigh Heads, Gold Coast, running Thursday June 12 to Saturday June 14.

The festival is already in full swing. Burleigh’s been taken over — art shows, bands, bars, afterparties, and the Surf of Origin, headlined by a collision between Mick Fanning and Joel Parkinson — White Lightning wearing NSW blue, Parko redlining for Queensland. NSW got the nod.

The film portion officially kicks off this Thursday and runs for three nights.

What’s showing:

Thursday
– A Marble In The Jar — Tatiana Weston-Webb, directed by the late Greg Browning and Scott Smith
– What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? — featuring the Rip Curl Groms
– Stoker Machine

Friday
– Friction Of Perception — A Liam O’Brien film
– Milk and Honey — featuring Steph Gilmore, Caity Simmers, Frankie Harrer, Coco Ho
– The Granny Grommets

Saturday
– Washed — Mikey Wright, Griffin Colapinto, Kanoa Igarashi, Lungi Slabb, Kael Walsh, Hughie Vaughan
– Let Me Live — Featuring Tom Lowe
– Doped Youth

If selected, you’ll get:

– Free VIP tickets to the Thursday (June 12) and Friday (June 13) screenings
– Two nights’ accommodation at the 5-star Mondrian Hotel, for you and a guest
– Access to the full shebang: films, music, surf, tequila-fuelled conversations

Saturday’s screening isn’t included, but you’re welcome to grab a ticket if you want to keep the run going.

To enter:
Fill out this four-question survey. It’ll take approximately 17 seconds.

Important: Please only enter if you’re certain you can attend. Spots are limited and we want these to go to people who’ll actually show up.
