PRICE LIST & CONDITIONS |
Tickets on sale now!
The wait is finally over! Tickets are now available for this
year's Brisbane International Film Festival.
There are 200 films to choose from, coming from as far a
field as Iceland (Nói Albinói) and Vanuatu (A
Piece of Land). There are previews of films that will be amongst
the big hits in cinema in the next twelve months (including
our Opening Night World Premiere, Gettin' Square) and there
are wild, experimental pieces that push the boundaries of
what we understand as cinema (including Decasia). We have
docos, shorts, comedies and dramas. We have gorgeous genre-flicks
and we have astounding, creative films that defy definition.

Kid's Fest
The Australian Children's Film Festival is on again, allowing
Brisbane children the chance to see some of the world's best
cinema for children. Titles this year include The Race for
Space, a fabulous anti-bullying adventure about a boy who
becomes and official chimp-trainer for NASA, and Kirikou and
the Sorceress, an absolutely enchanting animated adaptation
of an African folktale about a tiny boy who save his village
from a witch.
These are the only sessions people under 18 years of age
are allowed to attend at BIFF, but the good news is they get
to go free. And if you can convince Nana to take them, so
much the better, as this year Seniors Card holders can attend
these sessions free too. Look out for titles marked 'C' in
