2026 REELise Film Festival

The REELise Film Festival is a celebration of Australia's next generation of storytellers. Showcasing the best short films by filmmakers aged 12-24 from across the country, this year's Festival explores the theme 'Ripple' - the idea that a single decision, action, or moment can shape lives, communities, and the world around us.

Watch the red carpet excitement, connect with filmmakers and industry professionals, and experience the energy of a community ignited by the power of storytelling.

Whether you're a filmmaker, film lover, educator, parent, or simply someone who believes young voices deserve to be heard, you'll leave inspired by the creativity, courage, and vision of Australia's rising storytellers.
