The first Flinders Flicks events were held during the Flinders Ranges Bush Festival 2007, at the Quorn Caravan Park, on the 25 & 26 April 2008.

With the support of Big Screen Australia, two films were shown that had been made in the local area.

GALLIPOLI (1981) directed by Peter Weir
The story of a group of young Australian men who leave their various backgrounds behind and sign up to join the ANZACs in World War I. They are sent to Gallipoli, where they encounter the might of the Turkish army.

LUCKY MILES (2007) directed by Michael Rowland.
An Indonesian fishing boat abandons a group of Iraqi and Cambodian men on a remote part of the Western Australian coast. While most are quickly rounded up, three men with little in common but their history of misfortune elude capture and begin an epic but confused journey drawn on by their hopes amplified by the empty desert.
