Abstract

From the development of Australia’s first film festival, the 1952 Olinda Film Festival, this chapter traces the evolution of the Melbourne (MIFF) and Sydney (SFF) film festivals. Emerging in the early years of international film festival development, MIFF and SFF represent distinctly different festival experiences compared with events emerging in Europe contemporaneously. This chapter engages directly with assumptions that the early years of festival development were a uniquely European phenomenon, arguing instead that Australia’s engagement with the format suggests that festivals were a global response to the spread of cinephilia and the growing hegemony of Hollywood in the post-Second World War period.
