Melbourne International Film Festival

Celebrate the finest achievements of film in all genres from around the world.

The Melbourne International Film Festival presents an annual showcase of the widest possible range of outstanding filmmaking from Local and international filmmakers.

Melbourne goes cinematically crazy, with almost 400 films screened over 18 days and popcorn served by the bucket load. Expose yourself to new styles of films and be treated to appearances and explanations from the filmmakers themselves, or put your questions to panels of famed film-buffs.

Come and celebrate the finest achievements in film and artistic excellence in all its forms and genres, including features, shorts, documentaries, animation, experimental films, multimedia, forums, panel discussions and live links with filmmakers. The film festival plays at various theatres throughout Melbourne's CBD.
