2025 AACTA Festival

AACTA Festival will run for 5 days offering a vast range of activities celebrating film, television, and pop culture. Underpinned by the prestigious AACTA Award ceremonies —which brings the entire Australian screen industry together with a star-studded red carpet and celebration of film, TV, online content and documentary, AACTA Festival also features a dynamic line-up of premieres, exclusive screenings, industry networking events, music, and informative and collaborative experiences for fans, emerging filmmakers and seasoned industry professionals alike.
