About FFFA

The portal opens once again to Australia’s premiere event celebrating the cross-section of cult, genre and arthouse cinema.

FFFA offers a journey beyond any known map of convention. It’s a celebration of those on the cutting edge of international storytelling: craftspeople and collaborators with unique voices, and unbounding passion and imagination.

Take a trip through underground dance culture, cosmic queer sci-fi epics, hardboiled murder mysteries, gothic horror freakouts, hand-animated marvels, twisted digital nightmares, razor-sharp comedy satires, and remastered classics alongside many other spectacular curiosities.

This year we’ve widened our scope beyond cinema to embrace more modes of creative expression. We’re proud to launch the inaugural Music Video Blind Date, an event celebrating the best of our local music and filmmaking talent; and Cinema 1 Nightclub, a unique blend of live music, visual art and cinema. You can also expect to find nude screenings, in-cinema DJ performances, Dungeons and Dragons, Q&As and exceptional short form work.

So, ready your eyes, ears, mind and hearts to be blown.
