This weekend sees a lot to keep you all busy – so no thumb twiddling allowed!

The Lavazza Italian Film Festival starts on Friday at the Palace Cinema in Byron, with films celebrating the best of Italian culture. So whether you want a dose of home grown cinema, or to see something new – go to www.italianfilmfestival.com.au for programs and tickets.

If watching a movie isn’t wild enough for your Friday night, head over to the Zorba Gypsy Party! The party takes place at Durrumbul Hall on Friday, from 6pm. Tickets are $20, and the party features music from Shakshuka, Nomadic Band and DJ Chris Dekker; as well as dance, Bedouin song circles and delicious food!
