The entire time of the 2023 GCFF is jam-packed with fantastic programs. Watch the Australian Showcase and support regional cinema. These Australian films exhibit excellent filmmaking talent and present new stories and engaging characters while reflecting the nation's diversity. The Australian Showcase consists of the films Monolith, Sweet As, The Giants, and The Survival Of Kindness.
