Daytime Activities

Join me for the Multicultural Film Festival Premiere 2026 at ACMI. The Multicultural Film Festival is an annual short film festival presented by the Victorian Multicultural Commission. This year’s theme is “A Million Stories,” celebrating the richness that refugees and multicultural communities bring through lived experience, creativity and storytelling. The evening includes a networking function, short film screenings and an awards ceremony. It should be a thoughtful, relaxed and meaningful cultural night for anyone interested in film, multicultural stories, creativity, community and different perspectives. You are very welcome to come solo. We’ll meet outside Time Out Fed Square restaurant first, say hi, then walk over to ACMI together before the festival starts. After the event, we can optionally grab dinner nearby if people are interested. **Who this is for** This is for anyone interested in short films, cultural stories, multicultural Australia, refugee stories, community events, arts, cinema or just trying something different on a Thursday evening. No film knowledge needed — just come with an open mind and a relaxed attitude. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/3AC6bejiFLo7xRGd8](https://maps.app.goo.gl/3AC6bejiFLo7xRGd8) Event info: [https://www.multiculturalcommission.vic.gov.au/multicultural-film-festival](https://www.multiculturalcommission.vic.gov.au/multicultural-film-festival) Tickets: [https://events.humanitix.com/multicultural-film-festival-premiere-2026](https://events.humanitix.com/multicultural-film-festival-premiere-2026) Related video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v8RWgWzf4c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v8RWgWzf4c) **Timeline** * 6:10pm — Meet outside Time Out Fed Square restaurant and say hi * 6:20pm — Head to ACMI together * 6:30pm — Multicultural Film Festival starts * 9:30pm — Meetup ends * Afterwards — Optional dinner nearby if people are interested **Tickets / cost** This is a ticketed event.

🌿 **Take a gentle pause this June as we connect, reflect and explore *Shades of Courage*.** SoulTime offers a welcoming space for **reflection, meaningful conversation and connection** in a peaceful setting overlooking nature. Sessions include gentle music, short readings from diverse cultures, faiths and perspectives, and open discussion around uplifting themes relevant to everyday life. This month, **we'll explore the many different ways courage manifests in our lives** \- from bold leaps of faith to quiet moments of inner strength\. 🌱 To help make SoulTime accessible for families, we are continuing our ***SoulTime Kids*** program! This is a parallel session for primary-aged children that runs while adults attend the main gathering, often exploring similar themes through their own creative, reflective and values-based activities. The kids' session is facilitated by a qualified primary school teacher or youth worker (with current Working with Children Checks). SoulTime remains open to everyone, regardless of background, beliefs or life stage. Light refreshments will be served following the group discussion. We hope you can join us! ☕✨
