Screening over three days at the Peacock Theatre the WOW Film Festival will offer three different programs.

There are five more nights of the Hobart Fringe Festival.

This week's events will culminate with the festival's much loved Night Market - in Maggies Lane near the corner of Campbell and Brisbane Streets.

The Night Market, which will run between 5.30pm - 9.30 pm on Saturday May 3, will feature over thirty stalls, food, a bar - all to the sounds of a range of musical styles.

Rain or shine, this is an enjoyable and peaceful/riproaring event for everyone. Bring your visitors.

Week two of the festival turned up some delights - packed audiences at The Peacock to see both The Pharmacist and Two Women and a Chair, Melbourne punk band The Dacios supported by local blues act Moe Grizzly, a delightful Buskers Night in Elizabeth Street and of course the inspirational and sold out Fashion Show.

Week three has a lot to offer as well. Hold on for the jazz inspired hard core punk band, Off Minor, from the USA, performing their only Tasmanian show on Tuesday night at the Peacock (licensed all ages).

The Super 8 competition was screened on Tuesday night at the Brisbane Hotel.

As in past years, the screening was the first time that even the film makers had seen the films.

The theme for this year's competition, given to film makers when they collected their films, was 'To Mock a Killing Bird,' and was encompassed in very different manners - though the appearance of plovers, chooks and other fascinator style birds was rife.

The winner, in a field of six films of varying quality, '((///\\\))),' was made by Pip, Emma Jean and Jesse, starring Emma Jean and Sam.
