The Armenian Film Festival Australia showcases the best of Armenian films and is the only platform of its kind in Australia.
Armenians have a long history of filmmaking, with iconic filmmakers such as Sergei Parajanov and Rouben Mamoulian taking centre stage in the last century. Contemporary filmmakers now provide a wide choice for film lovers.
The Armenian Film Festival Australia was established in 2016, and has grown each year to include feature films, documentaries, animations, short films, in a broad range of genres.
The purpose of the Festival is to showcase the rich Armenian culture, resilience, history, and language through the medium of film, providing a platform for the talent, creativity and storytelling of Armenian and non-Armenian filmmakers from the international film industry. All films showcased at the Festival are hand-picked by the Committee members for this purpose.
