The Drone Film Festival Australia and New Zealand presented by SanDisk (DFFANZ) is ready for lift off and is taking the
region by storm!

that have never before been possible. DFFANZ was created to showcase these films, screening short narratives and
documentaries by established filmmakers, production companies, and everyday drone hobby enthusiasts.”
– Elmedin Kumalic, Founder & Festival Manager
