The Central Victorian Indigenous Film Festival (CVIFF) is kicking off with a very special celebration of young local First Nations stories! ✨

The CVIFF is an annual showcase of First Nations films, documentaries and videos screened in local venues to celebrate National Reconcilation Week. Check out the full program for all the activities! Each year, the CVIFF is launched with the announcement and screening of the winners of the Koorie Youth Flick Fest- a short filmmaking competition for young First Nations people in Central Victoria. 

This year, it's a very special event marking the 5 year anniversary of the Koorie Youth Flick Fest! For the very first time, we're screening all of the winners from the past 5 years all in one place! 

The event will begin with a Welcome to Country & Smoking Ceremony in the Bendigo Library Gardens at 4.30pm. 

From 5pm, we'll be screening all of winning Koorie Youth Flick Fest films from the 2021 - 2024, and make the announcement you've all been waiting for - the winning films of the 2025 Koorie Youth Flick Fest! 

Join us for this very special event!
