Leave a Legacy

Film is a mirror to the human condition – it reflects our beauty, our darkness and everything in between. It comforts and challenges us, sparks vital conversations, and, in a rapidly changing world, offers hope.

Do you remember the first film you saw at the cinema? Was it with a family member, a friend, a romantic interest – or alone? Do you remember the first film that truly impacted you? That opened your mind to a new perspective, challenged your beliefs or introduced you to another culture or way of life?

Film is more than entertainment. It shapes who we are. It teaches empathy, ignites curiosity and helps us understand the world – and each other – better.

Leaving a legacy gift to MIFF in your will isn’t just a gesture. It’s a powerful commitment to ensuring that these transformative experiences continue for generations to come.

If you’re passionate about cinema and its ability to inspire, your legacy can help keep MIFF a vital part of Melbourne’s cultural landscape. By including MIFF in your will, you’ll support bold, boundary-pushing filmmaking and help nurture the next generation of storytellers and audiences.

Make your mark through film. Leave a legacy that lasts.

We know this is a significant decision. To explore how you can leave a meaningful gift to MIFF, we invite you to have a confidential conversation with us.
