Outback and all Aussie, Vision Splendid is a nine-day celebration of Australian cinema in the heart of Winton, Outback Queensland.

Since 2013, we’ve brought Aussie films, filmmakers, cinephiles and everyday travellers together for open-air screenings under the stars, industry legends, special events and experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

Australia’s only Outback Film Festival.

WhAT MAKES Vision Splendid Different

Cinema under the stars

Watch Australian films in iconic outback settings, including Winton’s historic Royal Open-Air Theatre.

People are waiting in line outside a theater at dusk, with a red carpet leading to the entrance, and string lights overhead creating a festive atmosphere.

Unique outback location

Winton, often called Hollywood of the Outback, is a town celebrated for its deep connection to Australian film and beloved on-screen stories.

More than films on a screen

Meet industry icons and special guests through curated events, workshops and experiences that bring Australian cinema beyond the screen.

Make a donation

As a not-for-profit, we rely solely on grants, sponsorship and ticket sales to keep the festival running. These funding streams fluctuate, and rising expenses in remote Queensland make it increasingly challenging to operate at the level our community, partners and audiences deserve.

If you choose to donate, you’re helping us keep Australian storytelling alive and accessible in the outback: supporting local creativity, regional tourism and a one-of-a-kind cultural experience for years to come.

Your support, in any amount, helps safeguard the future of Vision Splendid. Thank you.
