MIFF 2023 Program

The big reveal has happened: MIFF’s 2023 program is live! It’s ready to be discovered, highlighted, colour-coded, scheduled – the inevitable clashes debated, favourites selected.

We can’t wait to welcome you to the festival this August, screening in metro cinemas on 3–20 August, in the regions on 11–13 and 18–20 August, and streaming Australia-wide via MIFF Play on 18–27 August.

Please note: MIFF audiences may be aware that there is industrial action involving SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and WGA (Writers Guild of America) members. We respect the position of intended MIFF festival guests, some of whom are members, and ask for your understanding if they are unable to participate as advertised.
