Veterans Film Festival

The RSL National Veterans Film Festival (VFF) is an annual event, putting the spotlight on stories about veterans, first responders, their families and the influence of warfare on our society. The festival presents a curated program of carefully selected feature films, short films and media art from Australia and around the globe. Our focus is on recent work by talented indie filmmakers. However, within our program we also present mainstream films, retrospectives and provide opportunities to meet with filmmakers and content creators via Q&A’s, panels, etc. All films submitted to the official competition will be eligible to compete for the coveted Red Poppy Awards.
