Established in 1952, the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is one of the world’s oldest film festivals and the Southern Hemisphere’s largest. The Festival has a large, dedicated, and growing audience with a well-established public profile as a major event on the Australian calendar.

The Festival is a unique event in Australia, with a vibrant screening program, a loyal audience, and industry initiatives providing opportunities for Australian filmmakers at many levels. In recent years, MIFF has successfully extended its activities to include a raft of industry and filmmaker-focused programs to complement its core business, the screening program. These are:

• Accelerator, a 4-day educational and inspirational skills development program for up-and-coming directors with short films screening at MIFF;

• MIFF 37ºSouth Market, a 4-day film financing market for producers with market-ready projects pitching to potential international and local co-financing partners;

• MIFF Premiere Fund, MIFF’s own investment and loan fund, providing essential financing support for local feature-length films. In 2022, MIFF presented 34 world premieres, 10 of which were Premiere Fund films.

• MIFF Talks program, a complementary program of panels and In Conversations featuring invited guest directors, actors, screenwriters, and producers.

MIFF has an Academy®, BAFTA, and AACTA-accredited short film competition. The winners of the top prizes in the competition become eligible for Oscar® consideration.

In 2022, MIFF screened over 300 features, documentaries, and shorts experiences from 81 countries in 74 languages over 18 days. The 2023 festival will run from 3 - 20 August.
