The ORION International Film Festival (ORION IFF) is an independent, live-screening film festival founded in Australia over a decade ago. It presents a selective program of international narrative and documentary films, focusing on original, human-centered stories that demonstrate strong cinematic language, creative intent, and emotional resonance. The festival prioritizes films that explore the human condition through character, observation, and place, maintaining a selective acceptance rate of approximately 10–12%. ORION IFF features a jury-assessed awards program with distinctions such as Semi-Finalist, Finalist, Nominee, Highly Commended, and Winner, and is an IMDb qualifying festival. It accepts submissions across various genres including narrative, documentary, experimental, and animation, with an emphasis on balancing storytelling and visual craft.
