BOFA Film Festival

WELCOME TO BOFA FILM FESTIVAL 2023

Immerse yourself for 3 days in all that fabulous Launceston has to offer. As a proud place-based festival, this year we’ll be showing local and international features, classics, and animated and short films, screened in all the usual, and some more unusual spaces.

There will also be workshops, historic house tours and red-carpet parties, along with unique dining and cultural experiences designed to highlight the region’s UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy award-winning cuisine.

And what is place-based you ask? Well, it means that this festival is not only about excellent Australian and international feature-length dramas, comedies and documentaries but also about the great city of Launceston!

Perched on the banks of kanamaluka/The Tamar River, the historic city of Launceston is a hub for great food, wine, arts and culture. It fuses countryside charm with creative urban energy. The result is a city with a unique and diverse array of wineries and restaurants, topped off with breathtaking heritage architecture and beautiful nature to boot.

Join us from Friday the 1st – Sunday the 3rd of September when our city comes alive with three great days of fun and film.
