MIFF Talks
PRESENTED BY
Go beyond the screen and get closer to the themes, ideas and talent of the 2024 festival through MIFF’s engaging panel and conversation events.
MIFF Talks events are fantastic opportunities to spend time with our brilliant international and local festival guests, ranging from filmmakers and academics to critics and commentators. Taking place across The Edge at Fed Square, the Wheeler Centre and ACMI throughout the festival dates, these intimate and often boisterous panels take a deeper look at some of MIFF’s featured films, strands and genres – as well as industry concerns pertinent to these times. This year also sees the next instalment of our audience-beloved Consuming Culture talk: a roundtable dedicated to what we’re up to and how we’re up to when it comes to watching, reading and otherwise consuming film and media, co-presented by The Wheeler Centre.
More Talks to be announced soon!
