Unlike these one-off purchases, a MIFF Membership is a year-round investment that supports the future of the festival, fosters a sense of community and provides opportunities to emerging filmmakers.

With exclusive perks, behind-the-scenes access and the chance to dive deeper into the world of film, a MIFF Membership is the perfect way to elevate your love for cinema all year long.

Community and inclusivity are the essence of MIFF, and we’re proud to partner with Bank Australia – Australia’s first customer-owned bank and a certified B Corporation. Together, we’re cultivating passionate and informed communities driving creativity, impact and inspiration across Melbourne and the world.

“There is no art if we have no planet. This is the true reward in this line of work: not accolades or praise, but the opportunity to encourage an audience to meditate on life, on their relationship to land, on community. As a Bank Australia customer and long-time MIFF volunteer, I'm proud to support those whose ethics are practised not only conceptually, but also through direct action on sustainability and communities. Even the smallest step we take towards a more sustainable future brings us closer in harmony with the planet and with each other.”

– James J. Robinson (MIFF Member, Bank Australia customer and director of First Light, nominated for MIFF’s Bright Horizons Award)
