Festival Description:

The Digital Media Festival is an integrated 3-day event comprising four conferences covering all you need to know about digital content creation – digital video, animation & effects, digital imaging and the Internet.  There is also an exciting three day trade exhibition.

Speakers representing the world's leading companies will hold sessions presenting their most recent work and run masterclasses leading you through the innovative processes they have developed. Today's best digital photographers, directors and VFX artists continue to achieve results that shape and progress our expectations of digital content.

The Digital Media Festival is the most cost-effective, inspiring and enjoyable way for filmmakers, producers, animators & photographers to learn about all aspects of this
dynamic industry. These days, all creators and users need to deliver a complete product. The ability to combine technologies and disciplines gives you a competitive edge in the fast-changing world of imagery.

Photographers, filmmakers and animation artists can improve their work by learning about each other's skills. Fortunately, the tools and techniques you need to meet this challenge are being developed and  constantly improving.

The Australian Effects and Animation Festival Awards are Australia’s peak industry awards recognizing and rewarding excellence and creativity in 10 categories of competition. Winners of AEAF Awards include the premier Australian post production and effects companies, as well as many of the worlds top film studios and visual effects houses.

The DV Fest is the premier event for Australian Filmmakers to showcase their work.

Digital Imaging inspires attendees using digital photography, from every day personal uses to high end needs such as digital artists capturing Texture references, Photos for publishing or producers capturing location shots.

The promotion activities for the DMF are as influential as the event itself, with details of speaker sessions and AEAF Awards featured in Digital Media World Magazine and many other media outlets before, during and after the event.
