The touring, regional film, music, comedy and arts festival will return to Canberra for the fifth time on January 31, with a new collection of short films.
BAFTA award-winning film Room 8 from Britain and Los Angeles Film Festival winner The Gunfighter will premiere in Australia at the festival.
German short Flamingo Pride will also feature in the line-up, alongside British film The Phone Call, which has been short-listed for an Oscar nomination in 2015.
The remainder of the films will be kept under wraps until the night.
This year's line-up is curated by award-winning actress Deborah Mailman.
