The Dome Under Film Festival is ready to mesmerise audiences once again, returning to the Melbourne Planetarium at Scienceworks from 31 January to 2 February 2025. Marking its fifth year, this festival is the only one of its kind in Australia, bringing fulldome films to life in an unforgettable cinematic experience.
This year’s programme features 32 films from 15 countries, ensuring a rich blend of creativity and storytelling. Among the standout sessions is “Mind Blowing Art,” which includes “U221E” by Mexico’s F3 Studio, an exploration of infinity through stunning visuals. Another offering, “Within” by Polish artist Ari Dykier, takes viewers on a journey through the mind’s emotional and mental landscapes.
The “World Stories” session offers a cultural treasure with “takila milaythina-ti | Heart in Country.” This film showcases the traditions and deep connection to the land of the palawa community from Northern Tasmania, presented with care and authenticity.
The festival makes the most of the Melbourne Planetarium’s 16-metre domed ceiling, combining it with cutting-edge 5.1 surround sound. The result? A VR-like experience that fully envelops viewers in each story.
Tickets are available for individual sessions, with prices ranging from $12 for children to $20 for adults. Concessions and membership discounts ensure accessibility for all.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
