About FFFA

A home for mind-breakers, trend-setters, razor-walkers, loose-wires, truth-talkers, trailblazers and envelope-pushers, Fantastic Film Festival Australia returns to Lido Cinemas (VIC) and Ritz Cinemas (NSW) in April 2022. We're dedicated to showcasing the world’s most daring works from filmmakers with innovative and unique perspectives. These films look both inwards and outwards to present vivid visions of our reality, challenge cinematic convention, and offer a critical lens through which to view our past, present and future.

Suited for provocateurs, adrenaline junkies, cinephiles, and everyone in between, our 2021 line-up is packed full of films to scratch every cinematic itch. This is an energetic program that will inspire unpredictable and revelatory journeys into uncharted territories.

Join us to celebrate extraordinary creations that offer passion, imagination and pure cinematic joy you won’t find anywhere else.
