The Australian National Film Awards is one the largest Film Festival in the world and takes place every July for three days in Melbourne, Australia's capital city at Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Federation Square Melbourne, Australia. The Australian National Film Awards is a cinematic exploration of Australian experience — Australian culture and history, life in Australia, and the work of world artists — particularly where these stories intersect with other communities. For three jam-packed days, visiting filmmakers at Australia enjoy complimentary luxurious accommodations and an exclusive Red-Carpet VIP pass to legendary late-night galas and unforgettable parties, where plenty of interaction with award-winning filmmakers and celebrities is the norm.
