What to expect
Experience extraordinary cinema when the Travelling Film Festival returns to Cairns.
The Opening Night film is the must-see hit Aussie made documentary Whistle which follows all the quirks, egos and soaring notes of the World Whistling Championships.
Cairns Audiences will be some of the first in the world to see some of the biggest films of the year including the two biggest award winners out of Cannes; Palme d'Or winner Fjord starring Oscar nominees Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan, and Grand Prix winner Minotaur - the searing Russian thriller which also won the Sydney Film Festival Official Competition.
Plus Oscar contenders La Bola Negra, the dazzling Spanish epic, featuring Penelope Cruz, Glenn Close and Julio Torres, and Polish master Paweł Pawlikowski returns with Fatherland starring Sandra Huller.
And featuring one of the late Sam Neil's final performances is the hilarious new Aussie comedy The Fox, also starring Olivia Colman, and Jai Courtney.
These are just some of the ten acclaimed and awarded films from around the world at exclusive screenings, plus five award winning Aussie short films you need to see!
