A Christmas Tale

Melbourne-based artist, designer, author and maker, Beci Orpin’s original animated Christmas film A Christmas Tale was commissioned by Fed Square and the City of Melbourne in 2018. This festive season you can catch it on the Big Screen, where it will be screening each evening leading up until Christmas.

Screenings with live choral accompaniment are scheduled on Fri 24 - Sun 26 November.

A Christmas Tale is a film created by Melbourne studio General Strike in collaboration with artist and illustrator Beci Orpin. The 10-minute animation brings to life a playful fusion of Australian Christmas scenes and characters in her colourful, graphic and dream-like style.

From a wintery European tradition to Aussie summer holidays at the beach, viewers will see whimsical moments of Australia’s unique fauna and flora, including flying possums, dropping spiders and the distinctive crimson and black of Sturt’s Desert Peas.

Presented by Fed Square in partnership with General Strike.
