Red Hot Cinema

With Darwin International Film Festival (DIFF) going gangbusters in the Top End last month, DIFF continues its victory lap as it makes tracks to the Red Centre for the first time.

MPARNTWE ALICE SPRINGS International Film Festival (MASIFF) makes its debut on desert screens, produced by Red Hot Arts and supported by DIFF and Darwin Film Society, with a curated collection of award-winning international feature films and shorts.

Film buffs and movie lovers can expect to find several short films celebrating the diverse communities across the Red Centre, as well as locally-made feature film, Under Street Lights, set in Mparntwe/Alice Springs.

The inaugural event kicks off with a screening of Like My Brother, an inspirational Tiwi Island documentary about a group of young women following their dreams to the AFLW. This one sold out in Darwin, so we recommend you get onto those hot tix, stat.

Ensuring the festival is accessible to all, select showings have reduced ticket prices and BLAKTIX to increase access for First Nations people and those facing financial difficulties. Go, get your flix on!
