The Revelation Perth International Film Festival is a cracking 11-day celebration of cinema, showcasing over 200 international films and represents Western Australia's largest - and only - international film festival. With hundreds of submissions from the four corners of the globe, Revelation embraces diverse audiences, has a reputation as a fierce advocate for adventurous independent cinema and Australian screen culture. Since 2020, it has commissioned and produced more than 25 short (and award winning) documentaries and VR works and since then has invested more than $350,000 in local independent screen production. In 2016, the festival launched its own streaming service - RevStream - which now houses more than 200 feature, short and documentary films and delivers to audiences and industry year-round. Aside from that, we just love movies.
We're very happy to welcome back our long-term event partners Edith Cowan University who've been with us from nearly beginning. Playing host to a range of our Industrial Revelations professional development sessions and other activities, we're keen to stand alongside them in showing off their facilities and opening their doors for industry and public alike for these must attend sessions throughout the festival. With a view to their new city campus which is coming along in leaps and bounds, they're contribution to the critical and creative life of all sectors of the screen sector is significant...and we don't mind saying our Festival Director spent many a semester there as Lecturer.
For anyone who's taken a look at our great 2025 trailer, you can see the kind of quality marketing work our new partner The Solid State can deliver. No only have they produced a cranking trailer, they're also doing two workshops looking at the power of the trailer in both financing and promotion.
Your tax-deductible gift will support our year-round activity including regular supported screenings, commissioning of short films, artworks, music and film performances, installations, recognition of the WA film industry at the WA Screen Culture Awards each year, and of course the film festival. Your gift will directly support diversity and accessibility in the arts in WA and you will be part of the team to deliver the highest quality international arts program that we possibly can.
Since our inception over 25 years ago, Revelation has prioritised ethical partnerships. We have consistently resisted funding from fossil-fuel industries and organisations linked to environmental harm, social inequity, and the production of weapons. Revelation has remained committed to its social responsibility, reflected in all aspects of the event. If you share these values, we’d love to have you on board!
