Screenwave International Film Festival

Screenwave International Film Festival (SWIFF) is the premier film and screen culture festival of Northern New South Wales, hosted in the beautiful Coffs Coast - where the Great Dividing Range meets the Pacific Ocean.

This 16-day film festival includes over 100 feature film screenings in beach-side Coffs Harbour and the creative mountain town of Bellingen, including Q and A sessions with filmmaker guests, live soundtrack events, projection art exhibitions, networking events for filmmakers, and a film exhibition program that focuses on award-winning world cinema, new Australian films, compelling documentaries - and Australia's largest regional youth film competition, the new Nextwave Youth Film Awards.

Many events and screenings sell out quickly. Tickets go on sale from August with the full SWIFF 2021 program released in December.
