Popcorn Taxi is an Australian independent non-competitive film festival that presents regular screening of local and international film and television works. The unique nature of each screening is that the events provide patrons with the opportunity to discuss the film with the filmmaker(s). Feature and short films and documentaries are screened.

The event was founded in 1999 by filmmakers Gary Doust and Matt Wheeldon.[1] Popcorn Taxi programs aim to explore why the filmmakers made the choices they did and how they brought their visions to the screen. The guests are usually producers, directors, writers, cinematographers, editors, visual effects supervisors, designers, composers and actors.
Some of Popcorn Taxi’s on-stage guests have included Baz Luhrmann, Guillermo Del Toro, Andrew Stanton, Ben Burtt, Richard Kelly (director), Kevin Smith, George Miller (producer), Dennis Hopper, Gillian Armstrong, Wim Wenders, Tim Robbins, Danny Boyle, Errol Morris, Phillip Noyce, Roger Corman, Richard Linklater, Philip Glass, Ewan McGregor and Quentin Tarantino.
