Dome Under Film Festival 2026

Australasia’s only festival dedicated to fulldome cinema, the Dome Under Film Festival (DUFF), will return to the Melbourne Planetarium this summer, presenting the newest and most innovative, immersive films from around the globe.

This year’s festival includes a brilliant selection of children’s and family titles across two dedicated sessions: Kids and Astronomy for Families. Highlights include:

– Hermy’s Secret Full-Moon Hideout – a charming, imaginative film perfect for younger viewers
– Radiance: A Journey to the Edge of the Galaxy – a lively, fast-paced space adventure that families will love

Across the weekend, families can also enjoy an exciting mix of science, storytelling and immersive 360° visuals, all presented under the Planetarium’s spectacular domed ceiling.

Now in its sixth edition, DUFF has grown into a highlight of the international fulldome calendar since launching in 2020. The 2026 festival will feature nine curated sessions across three days, each running between 75 and 120 minutes, with each film being screened once only.

Dates, times and sessions vary – check the website for more details.
