MORE THAN JUST A FESTIVAL!
The Ningalens Story
Ningalens Film Competition started in 2015 and is now an annual competition aimed at helping aspiring filmmakers from the region while showcasing the splendid surrounds of the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef. The comp is co-ordinated by Exmouth local amateur projectionist Pete Firth.
If anybody is interested in helping out Ningalens Film Competition… awesome! There are plenty of ways to help out. Pete would love your help to increase the comp’s scope and growth.
Please email interest to: info@ningalens.com
The Ningalens Festival spawned out of the 2015 event that screened the film competition’s prizes and took the available excuse to have a party. The Ningalens Festival has expanded to a 5 day programme in 2018 and covers various artistic pursuits such as music, stencil graffiti art, film, music, installation art, comedy and craft beer.

Who’s supporting us?
The Ningalens Festival presented by Act-Belong-Commit is supported by Western Australian organisations and businesses of Exmouth. Without the help of grants and ongoing support, Ningalens wouldn’t be the festival that it is today!
Thank you for all the ongoing support.
“A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.”
– Stanley Kubrick
