The Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) is an iconic Melbourne event with a devoted audience.

MIFF hosts a feast of cinematic delicacies from over 50 countries for some 17 days each winter, heavily garnished with a range of red carpet galas, parties and special events that envelop the CBD. In addition to screening the very best in world cinema, MIFF is Australia's largest showcase of new Australian cinema and most vocal champion of both emerging and established local filmmaking talent.

MIFF has a rich history, celebrating 62 years in 2013 which makes it one of the oldest film festivals in the world (one year younger than Cannes!). From its earliest days, MIFF has provided audiences with a unique window on the world and has acted as the leading intellectual and artistic catalyst in Australia's screen cultural landscape.

The Festival enjoys annual admissions of 185,000, making it one of Melbourne's significant public events.
