Highlights from the lengthy list include Patti Cake$, the story of an aspiring rapper from New Jersey, I Am Not Your Negro, a portrait of James Baldwin and his unfinished manuscript, and the Italian romance regarded as one of the major films of 2017 Call Me By Your Name.

Notable Australian works featuring at MIFF include Mountain, directed by Jennifer Peedom with a soundscape by the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Richard Tognetti, and Australia Day, a take on a particularly contentious issue in our country through three distinct figures.

These film announcements follow already announced special events including a concert and performative lecture from Michel Chion and a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra live score performance of There Will Be Blood.
