Due to the overwhelming success of last year’s festival we are back again – bigger, better and more ambitious than before…
This year’s event will also include the latest and greatest in Malaysian films, a forum to facilitate both Australian and Malaysian filmmakers, and a launch that will feature cultural dance, musical performances and an exhibition of batik design!

We would like to invite you to be part of this exciting event once again.

Our Objectives
The idea is to feature Malaysian created content for an Australia based audience and stimulate an artistic awareness, regional consciousness and a collective willingness for progressive regional collaboration. In short, we believe this event will become a strong stand alone brand that will boost the mutual creative profiles and positioning of both Australia and Malaysia with each other.
We want to canvas interest for future film, television and multimedia co-production recognising the growing bond between Malaysia and Australia, and advance potential arts and cultural bilateral ties.
