Melbourne International Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Melbourne International Film Festival, or MIFF, has been running since 1951. The 54th MIFF was held from the 20th of July to the 7th of August 2005, with the previous year's festival breaking box office records by 5%. The festival showcases a diverse array of films from across the world.
In recent years disagreements over the content and running of the festival have led to the formation of an alternative film festival, the Melbourne Underground Film Festival [1] or MUFF that champions authentic independent, genre and alternative Australian films.
The current director of the Melbourne International Film Festival is Richard Moore.
