Persian Film Festival Australia

Storytelling as an act of resistance and culture. The Persian Film Festival Australia is a premier cultural event dedicated to celebrating and showcasing the rich landscape of Iranian cinema to audiences across the country. Operating as a vital platform for storytelling, the festival curates an extraordinary selection of feature films, documentaries, and short films that speak directly to the lived Iranian experience—both past and present. Each year, the festival hosts an official competition, honouring the best in Persian cinema with the prestigious Golden Gazelle Award. Beyond just screening films, the PFFA is deeply committed to amplifying Iranian voices, ensuring that important cultural narratives and stories of resistance continue to be heard on the global stage. Opening in Sydney and touring major capitals including Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, the Persian Film Festival brings communities together through the power of restored cinematic masterpieces and groundbreaking contemporary works.
