MIFF and the AFL, supported by VicScreen, present five short works that combine two of Melbourne’s greatest loves: film and footy.

Five filmmakers have created authentic, emotionally resonant stories that capture the deep love, traditions, myths and connections people share through Australian Rules football, whether as players, fans, families or communities – showcasing how the game, across its many different forms, unites and shapes Australian life.

Films in this package: Breaking the Line: The Peta Searle Story (dir. Grace Anna Cardona), Bush Boots (dir. Kynan Clarke, Isabel Dilena), Eye of the Game (dir. Ramas McRae), House Divided (dir. Danielle Baynes) and No Prior Opportunity (dir. Alexandra Walton).
