Top Dog Film Festival at Moonlight Cinema

Overview

Talented pooches have been barking their way to big screen stardom since the birth of the medium, and Cannes Film Festival even gives out awards for ace pupper performances. Now, Australia has a dog-themed cinema showcase — and while it pops up around the country every year, it's heading to Moonlight Cinema in 2021.

At the Top Dog Film Festival, doggos and puppers cement their status as humanity's favourite movie stars in a program of pooch-centric shorts. Viewers will watch dogs will leap across the screen in a curated selection of heartwarming flicks about humanity's best friend — think films about dog-powered sports, dogs in space, dogs hiking through the desert, senior dogs and more.

The festival hits Moonlight Cinema in Brisbane's Roma Street Parklands on Saturday, January 30, and rushing after tickets the way your best four-legged friend rushes after a frisbee is recommended. Given how much we all love watching dog videos online, not to mention attending pupper-centric shindigs in general, this one-night-only under-the-stars event is certain to be popular.

Also, in exceptional news for pooch-loving movie buffs, you can take your pupper along.
