The Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC), in association with Swinburne University of Technology, invites emerging and established filmmakers to submit films for consideration in the 2025 Multicultural Film Festival (MFF).
The MFF celebrates multiculturalism through the lens of short films that explore stories of cultural diversity and living in multicultural Australia, home to the world’s oldest continuous cultures and people who identify with more than 300 ancestries around the world.
We are seeking creative, original, non-formulaic short films about any aspect of cultural diversity created by Australians with a multicultural background (for example, they or their family arrived in Australia as migrants, refugees, or asylum seekers) or filmmakers of any background who produce films that explore multiculturalism and promote social cohesion.
Original interpretations of what it means to be multicultural are encouraged. This could include personal stories of the filmmaker, their friends, family, or a community member. Films can also explore the differences and distinctions inherent in Australia’s cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity.
We continue to be excited by supporting more screenings and broadcasts of the Official Selection at in-person, virtual, and hybrid events across Victoria and on SBS OnDemand.
SBS proudly sponsors the 2025 MFF.
