Fantastic Film Festival program highlights a trove of weird and wonderful cinema

Fantastic Film Festival Australia is back this month with a bunch of genre-defying films for you to feast your eyes upon.

The Fantastic Film Festival Australia (FFFA) is back and ready to captivate audiences with a line-up of unconventional films. This year’s festival promises ‘to showcase the best of local filmmaking talent’, alongside a curated selection of international films that push the boundaries of cinema.

FFFA also boasts four local Australian films, including The Survival of Kindness, an allegorical journey across a plague-ravaged wilderness by legendary filmmaker Rolf de Heer, who will be in attendance for a Q&A at the first Sydney screening.
