Festival of Dangerous Ideas

Thursday, August 20 - Sunday August 30

Festival of Dangerous Ideas remains Australia’s most audacious, thoughtful and thought-provoking global offering.

Now in its thirteenth edition, for the first time the Festival brings you Dangerous Films: Old Reels, New Revelations.

Destabilising. Provocative. Ethically ambiguous. Critically acclaimed. These films tread the fault lines of morality, taboo and the cinematic form, pulling us into unsettling territory. With introductions by film makers or leading scholars, long after the credits roll the emotional, political, existential provocations will linger.
