See Vincent’s vibrant community and rich history come to life on the big screen.

Join us at The Backlot Perth for a screening of eight short films created through the City of Vincent Film Project. These films shine a light on the people, places and moments that make Vincent such a vibrant community.

Delivered in partnership with Perth Revelation Film Festival, the City of Vincent Film Project is the only initiative of its kind in Australia. It supports emerging filmmakers through grants and mentorship to create short, non-fiction films that share authentic Vincent stories.
