The International Multicultural Film Festival “IMFF” awaits you for 4 weeks of independent films made by filmmakers from vastly diverse ethnic and religious communities across the globe!

IMFF celebrates diversity in traditions, opinions, cultures, and religions. It will celebrate those filmmakers who are struggling to showcase their works, within a climate of marginalisation and isolation, racial or religious discrimination, secularism, sectarianism, or anti-religious sentiment. IMFF is not to open a cultural war but to build bridges of tolerance, understanding, and inclusion.

International Multicultural Film Festival 2024 (fourth season) will be held in Perth, Western Australia (Australia) from mid October 2024.

IMFF is open to documentary and drama films, short and long (max length is 120 minutes).

PLEASE NOTE: If your film is PRELIMINARY SELECTED and you DID NOT supply us with a DOWNLOADABLE COPIES OF:

1-your FIlm in FHD,
2- Trailer/ teaser
3- Poster

within ONE WEEK then your film might be DISQUALIFIED.

* There is no particular theme recommended but we stress on and encourage films telling stories about diversity, inclusion, and tolerance.

Films have no race or religion! We all use moving pictures as a medium to tell a story or pass a message or change the world around us. So IMFF is not about race or religion, but about a vast group of people and communities who happen to be diverse in their race, religion, skin colour, political views, traditions, and cultures. Thereafter, the major criteria for entry are that films should be either:

* MADE BY ANYONE TELLING STORIES ABOUT OUR RICH DIVERSITY, CELEBRATING OUR DIFFERENCES THROUGH INCLUSION AND TOLERANCE, AND PROMOTING MORE PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE ON THIS PLANET.

We look forward to seeing your submissions and welcoming you to our fourth year of the International Multicultural Film Festival, April 2024.
