Revelation Film Festival Announces 2018 Program

Revelation Perth International Film Festival (Rev) has announced its 2018 program featuring over 180 films, 25 world and international premieres and 57 Australian premieres.

Rev will run for two-weeks from Thursday, 5 July to Wednesday, July 18. It is expected to attract audiences of over 20,000 people.

Talking at the program launch on Thursday, 31 May, Festival Director and founder Richard Sowada said he was incredibly proud of the line-up for this year’s festival.

“We simply can’t stand still,” said Richard. “For 2018, we’re delivering in areas of art and culture that takes Rev right to the very front of the exploration of what a film festival can be.”

Screenwest CEO Seph McKenna hit social media to congratulate Rev on a well-executed program launch, which included a screening of Maxim Pozdorovkin’s documentary OUR NEW PRESIDENT.
