Cats may own the internet: but dogs rule the big screen thanks to the Top Dog Film Festival, touring Australia for the first time this August.
Film is going to the dogs, and that’s definitely a good thing for dog lovers around the country. The inaugural Top Dog Film Festival presents a two-hour cinematic celebration honouring the bond between dogs and their people.
Audiences will gain an insight into the world of dog-powered sports, an appreciation for the first canine sent into space, explore the bond between owners and their senior dogs, reflect on the true meaning of unconditional love, take a 600km hike through the Utah Desert lasting a full dog year and meet a philosophical statesman as he reflects on his younger years.
This carefully curated program of eight short canine-themed films is comprised of the most inspirational, heart-warming and entertaining stories about dogs and their human companions, from independent films makers around the globe.
Get your tickets before they all sell out – you’d be barking mad to miss it.
