The Peacock Film Festival Premieres in Sydney

Join us for the Australian premiere of the Democratic Voice of Burma’s Peacock Film Festival—a landmark event making its debut in Sydney!

The Peacock Film Festival is a bold celebration of independent journalism and filmmaking, amplifying voices that must be heard from Myanmar and beyond. This year’s theme, Giving Voices to the Voiceless: Cinema in Action, shines a spotlight on fearless filmmakers and journalists who expose untold stories—especially in regions where free speech is under threat.
