Our 2026 film program is here - and it's classic Rev! It's a stacked program of the newest feature, documentary, short, experimental and animations programs yet and we're over the moon with it. Take a look here.
The Revelation Perth International Film Festival is a cracking 12-day celebration of cinema, showcasing 170 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. Aside from that, we just love movies.


This year we've decided to wrap almost all our professional development sessions into a single free day at the SAE in Northbridge. Across the day you'll find our local, national and international guests engaged in critical discussion, workshops and panels and a networking event to round things out. Discover the secrets of game design across two sessions, a massive day long animation workshop, a special in conversation with our guest Tony Jones, a panel looking at making genre film in WA, navigating film festival and markets, how to maximise your time in pre-production, an experimental film forum and lots more.
Sessions are running throughout the day and everyone at any level of experience is welcome. The day wraps with a networking event with food and beverages. Take a look at the day's program right here.
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!
