North Bellarine Film Festival

North Bellarine Film Festival linktr.ee/northbellarinefilmfestival The Committee acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, learn and work.

The inaugural North Bellarine Film Festival was held in November 2017 and has grown to include an experimental film program, a popular shorts program and the Emerging Filmmaker Award, which recognises a Victorian filmmaker 25 years of age or younger, was launched in 2019. The festival is based in and around Portarlington and Drysdale and is easily accessible from Melbourne, Geelong and the Surf Co

ast. The North Bellarine Film Festival Committee is an independent, not-for-profit volunteer organisation committed to bringing quality cinema to the region, selecting films on their merit while also supporting sexual diversity, racial and gender parity. We pay our respects to the Kulin Nation and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders.
