The Persian Film Festival Australia (PFFA) is an annual competitive film festival dedicated to showcasing works by Iranian and Persian-speaking filmmakers from around the world. The festival typically takes place over ten days between April and May, presenting a curated selection of feature films, documentaries, and short films. Several awards are presented, including the Golden Gazelle Award for Best Feature Film, Best Documentary, and Best Short Film.
PFFA showcases an uncensored and carefully curated selection of features, documentaries, and short films. The festival offers Australian audiences a rare and enriching opportunity to engage with captivating stories from one of the world’s most esteemed cinematic traditions – films that might not otherwise reach Australian screens.
Founded in 2011 by Iranian-Australian filmmaker Dr. Amin Palangi. The inaugural edition was held in Sydney and expanded to other Australian capital cities, hosted at Palace Cinemas. Since its inception, the festival has been a platform for promoting Persian cinema and fostering cultural exchange between Australian and Persian-speaking communities.
