MIFF has a rich history, celebrating 58 years in 2009 which makes it one of the oldest film festival¹s 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.
