Revelation Perth International Film Festival kicks off its seventeenth season tonight at the Luna Cinema in Leederville, Perth, Western Australia and runs until 13 July 2013.
The annual Festival opens tonight with the breathtaking sci-fi film Under The Skin featuring Scarlett Johansson. Special guests of the festival will include Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo and Australian actor Aaron Pedersen (Mystery Road, Water Rats, City Homicide) alongside national and international filmmakers, musicians, screen artists, academics and distributors.
Revelation has established itself as an international film festival like no other with its thoughtful and provocative program which boasts 116 film screenings with over 35 Australian premieres, making it fertile ground for independent filmmakers, distributors and discerning audiences.
"Rev has come a long way over the years" says festival founder and director Richard Sowada "and after the huge amount of work that has been put in over that time it’s enormously gratifying to see the event cement its place as the key annual screen culture event in WA"
Revelation is proudly supported by the Australian and West Australian governments through ScreenWest, TourismWA and Screen Australia.
