Melbourne International Film Festival will be held in August 2021.

The 69th edition of the festival will include 199 features and will take place as a hybrid event from August 5-15, marking a return to in-person screenings after last year’s MIFF was shifted online due to the pandemic. Some 62 titles will be available throughout Australia via MIFF Play, the festival’s online screening platform, from August 14-22.
