The festival will run from Friday 20 October to Wednesday 1 November 2023, showcasing films and exclusive Q&A sessions across Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney and Perth.

Featuring excellent storytelling from all around the world with a strong focus on planetary health, mental health, gender and activism, climate action and First Nations peoples’ experiences, the festival provides a platform to engage local communities and leaders beyond the health sector in meaningful discussion on pressing global health issues through the medium of film.
