MIFF ambassador and AACTA Award–winning actor Angourie Rice (Ladies in Black; These Final Hours, MIFF 2013) shares her five most anticipated titles at MIFF 2025.

Lesbian Space Princess

The title alone is fabulous, but the promise of a musical rom-com set in space is what makes this one of my top picks to watch this year. 

The Chronology of Water

As a long-time admirer of Kristen Stewart’s work as an actor and director, I can’t wait to see her adaptation of this raw and visceral memoir.

Young Mothers

This Belgian directing duo made one of my favourite films I’ve watched in recent years (Two Days, One Night), so I look forward to seeing their latest film.

One More Shot

I love a wacky premise, a time-travel plot and Australian cinema, and the fact that this film is all three means it deserves a spot on my list of top picks.

Looking for Alibrandi

I’ve seen this Australian classic before, but it is always a treat to see older films remastered and on the big screen.
