Groovescooter‘s 3rd STROBE Music Film Festival is gets underway throughout May and June 2023 with some brand new documentaries on-screen for their Australian Premieres alongside a bunch of cult-classics retrospectives to celebrate significant anniversaries as well as what would have been music maestro Prince’s 65th birthday.
