The 24th annual Revelation Perth International Film Festival is back from the 1st to the 11th July 2021, featuring a curated program celebrating independent filmmakers and boundary-pushing storytellers.
This year's theme of Distant but Connected is reflected not only through the epic program featuring content from 21 countries, but also through the Festival's specially commissioned artwork from acclaimed Augmented Reality artist Marc-o-Matic.

However bizarre The Village is, it's the characters that hold this film together. The pursuit of their desires can be uncomfortable and even sad at times, but their journeys are fascinating.
A richly told and deeply vulnerable film. A transfixing tale of love's ability to consume you, the dark things it can make you say and the even darker things it can make you consider.

An interesting, thought-provoking and ultimately challenging film with a powerful message - that standing up for what you believe in can have a transformative effect on your surroundings.
Though it might be accused of giving another platform to this movement of hate, and isn't the fiery indictment of white supremacy you might expect, it shows how deeply racism is embedded into society.
It's hard finding love in this world. If you can find it with an object, Zoé Wittock's 'Jumbo' suggests you go for it.
