About:
Join us for the Revelation Perth International Film Festival’s Academic Conference—an engaging two-day event drawing delegates nationwide happening on July 1st and 2nd, 2025. Dive into vibrant discussions and debates, exploring creative practice and praxis, and the theoretical surrounds of contemporary cinematic and screen culture.
Revelation stands as Australia’s exclusive international film festival integrating academic discourse within its renowned screening program. Our mission extends beyond screens, sharing compelling discoveries with audiences across the country and beyond. Embracing a pivotal role in fostering film discourse and analysis, Revelation is a cornerstone in Australian cinematic dialogue.
Under the auspices of SAE University College Perth, the academic conference is returning to Revelation in 2025. The Academic Conference will take place at the SAE campus 116-120 Roe St. Northbridge, Perth, Western Australia.
The Film Festival and Conference draws local, national and international academics and filmmakers to discuss and analyse issues such as:
- Your creative practice: praxis
- The nexus between theory and praxis
- The impact of AI on the Screen Industries
- New modes of production, distribution and exhibition
- Politics and culture on screen and in the industry
- Genre
- Experimental Cinema
- All screens: Film, Games, Animation, Virtual, Immersive, Art practices.
- Movements in international cinema
- All aspects of screen culture
It’s young, it’s passionate, it’s political and it’s directly connected to the screening program. You don’t have to be presenting a paper – or be an academic or filmmaker – to attend. Still, if you’re interested in the challenge, discussion and making people work for their ideas we suggest you register.
If conferences and networking are new to you, then you can’t find a more supportive and friendly environment in which to train. We’re all friends and all ideas and opinions are valued and welcomed.
