Persian Film Festival Australia
Emerging or unverified festival
The Persian Film Festival Australia is an annual competitive festival founded in 2011 that is dedicated to Iranian and other Persian-speaking cinema. It is notable for presenting a curated program of feature films, documentaries, and short films, and for bringing Persian-language stories to Australian audiences through screenings, awards, and touring programs across major cities. The festival is significant in the Australian film festival circuit as a platform for cultural exchange and for showcasing independent, uncensored, and often internationally acclaimed works that may not otherwise screen locally.
