Find your way
Not your average film festival
Once a year, filmmakers, actors, industry folk and film lovers make their way to a town of around 900 people in Outback Queensland for something rather special.
For nine days and nights, Vision Splendid fills Winton with Australian stories; there are new films and old favourites, conversations with the people who make them, special events, live performances and nights spent watching the big screen beneath a considerably bigger sky.
You might meet a filmmaker over breakfast, continue the conversation over coffee on the main street, then share an evening screening with a few local galahs who have absolutely no respect for cinema etiquette.

WINTON, OUTBACK QUEENSLAND
Films are only half the story
Of course there are films, plenty of them; Australian features, shorts, new releases, old favourites and special screenings fill the program from morning through to evening.
But Vision Splendid has never been about sitting quietly in a cinema for nine days. Expect filmmaker Q&As, industry conversations, workshops, live performances, Breakfast with the Stars and special events, plus all the chance encounters that happen when you put a whole bunch of people who love film into a tiny outback town.
Make a road trip out of it
The best stories don't always start on screen. Hit the open road, chase the big skies and make your way to Winton, Queensland, for nine splendid days of Australian cinema.
From iconic outback landscapes to country towns worth pulling over for, there's plenty to discover along the way. The journey really is part of the adventure.
