The 2024 Top Dog Film Festival, Australia’s premier showcase of the best dog-themed movies from around the world, hits the road this August and September for a national tour celebrating the passion of dog lovers across the country.
Central Coast residents can catch the festival at Avoca Beach Theatre on August 31 at 7pm.
The festival will bring a curated selection of hilarious, heartwarming, and delightfully dog-centric films to venues in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and other cities.
From Cairns to Hobart, Australian dog devotees won’t want to miss out on these must-see films made for the furriest four-legged film fans.
“We’re absolutely delighted to take the Top Dog Film Festival on tour across Australia again this year,” festival director Jemima Robinson said.
“With comedies, dramas, documentaries, and an animated film, our goal is to bring together dog lovers of all ages to celebrate the joy that our canine companions bring to the world.”
Feature films and short programs will showcase the full range of humanity’s enduring bond with dogs, from local independent films to international award-winners making their Australian premieres.
As an inclusive and family- friendly event, the Top Dog Film Tour provides a welcoming space for dog lovers of all ages.
Whether it’s a lifelong dog enthusiast, a recent dog adopter, or simply an appreciation for the bond between humans and animals, this tour promises an experience that will tug at everyone’s heartstrings and leave them with a renewed appreciation for the extraordinary spirit of dogs.
Audiences can look forward to engaging with a variety of Australian dog charities and conservation partners at the screenings, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to support these noble organisations dedicated to rescuing and caring for dogs in need.
The Top Dog Film Festival started in 2017 in Sydney as a celebration of dog-inspired cinema from around the globe.
It has grown into an annual tradition for Australian movie fans and their pups.
