City of Vincent Film Project - The Backlot Cinema Screening
See Vincent’s vibrant community and rich history come to life on the big screen.
Join us at The Backlot Perth for a screening of eight short films created through the City of Vincent Film Project. These films shine a light on the people, places and moments that make Vincent such a vibrant community.
