Join us for a stellar red-carpet evening as AACTA presents the Australian Premiere of EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, the groundbreaking new cinematic experience from visionary director Baz Luhrmann, created right here on the Gold Coast.

Fresh from rave reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival, EPiC reimagines the power and presence of Elvis Presley for a new generation, blending cutting edge technology with electrifying concert footage, a full orchestra and Baz’s unmistakable cinematic flair. This is Elvis as you have never seen or heard him before.

Drawn from newly unearthed footage of Elvis’s legendary Las Vegas residency and US tour, the film places audiences on stage and in the room with Elvis at the height of his powers. Just pure performance and Elvis in his own words revealing the entertainer, the musician, and the man behind the icon.

Following the screening, stay for an exclusive in conversation with the filmmakers, offering a behind the scenes look at how this landmark production was brought to life.

A night of music, cinema, and celebration - and one of the headline events of the 2026 AACTA Festival.

“One of the most exciting concert films you’ll ever see…” – Baz Luhrmann, Variety
