MIFF is back for its 69th festival, after running its 2020 festival completely online. This year, the film festival will run in a hybrid style, including both streaming and in-person events, 5-22 August. 32 films from the program have been announced so far, and the curation already suggests a particularly strong collection of anticipated Australian films alongside award-winning international works from Venice, Cannes, and more. A full programme announcement is set for 13 July.
In addition to these in-person screenings, the festival is also launching its new digital platform, MIFF play, which will stream selected films online, and which will be available anywhere nationally.
