The Vision Splendid Outback Film Festival is Australia’s only Outback film festival and the world’s only festival dedicated to profiling and supporting the Australian film industry. Held in Winton, Queensland, this family-friendly festival offers an immersive experience that caters to diverse audiences, celebrating Australian storytelling against the stunning backdrop of the Outback.
The festival’s dynamic program features themed special events, Breakfast with the Stars, the unique Silent Night Experience, film-student-led Short Film Competition and film location tours. These engaging activities allow visitors to connect deeply with Australian cinema and culture. The festival also plays a vital role in the industry by supporting Queensland and Australian filmmakers, often providing premiere screenings for local productions that face distribution challenges.
Showcasing the best new Australian films alongside a retrospective program, the Vision Splendid Outback Film Festival ensures that authentic Australian stories reach appreciative audiences.
A highlight of the festival is its venue—the historic Royal Theatre, Winton’s open-air theatre. Established in 1918, it is one of only two remaining open-air theatres in Australia, making it a must-visit destination for film lovers and history buffs alike.
Experience the magic of Australian cinema under the Outback stars at the Vision Splendid Outback Film Festival, where stories come to life in the heart of Queensland.
