To be eligible for consideration, all submissions must meet the following requirements: Films must have been completed after 1 January 2025. Films must not have been (or will not be) broadcast on television or publicly screened, distributed or exhibited in a physical location within the state of Victoria, Australia, prior to 24 August 2025. The only exceptions to this requirement are for private screenings held for cast, crew or investors, and film-school graduation screenings. Films must not have been (or will not be) available commercially online and accessible from the state of Victoria, Australia, either for free or via on-demand services prior to 24 August 2026. Screenings as part of a digital or online festival are permitted if the festival is for a limited run and geoblocked such that access by Australian viewers is prohibited. Films must be in their original language; if the original language is not English, subtitles in English must be provided. Please note: MIFF reserves the right to program films that do not adhere to the above eligibility requirements. These regulations are specific to MIFF 2024 and do not indicate eligibility for MIFF 2025 and beyond.
