About us

For Revelation , films are a backdrop to a wider conversation. Revelation commenced its formal life in 1997 in the basement back room of the Greenwich Club , Perth's legendary jazz venue. The festival was designed to showcase ideas "at point" in contemporary independent film and find a place for them in a conservative cinema and social environment. Today, the event includes over 120 international films presented at cinemas, galleries, cafes and bars across Perth. It attracts 12,000 patrons and 50 national and international guests over 13 days. Revelation includes a unique Academic component (introduced in 2012), industry discussion sessions, live performances, masterclasses, visual art exhibitions and other hybrid activity generated by the event or independent curators. Revelation always welcomes independently curated or initiated programs and ideas and actively embraces creative professional development and mentoring opportunities. Over 500 films submitted each year for selection from local and international filmmakers and features world and Australian premiere films of all genres. In 2014 Revelation introduced the monthly Australian Revelations program designed to explore the best in new and archival Australian Cinema. Revelation maintains its focus on signature driven works and embraces audiences of all ages, tastes and backgrounds. Like the films it presents, the event maintains a vitality and enthusiasm for the industry quite unlike any other film festival in the country. Over its 20 years it has developed a reputation as Australia's leading independent film event and continues to actively advocate for Australian screen culture practice in a still conservative exhibition environment. It maintains an ethical partnership agenda which is not always easy to do in resource and mining based economy, has an open mind and has a strong social justice program at its core. We are about cinema, ideas, politics, personality, history, access and equity.
