​Win Tickets to Our Favourite Movies at This Year's Revelation Film Festival

Perth's Revelation Film Festival is back next month for its 19th year, showcasing the offbeat indie features and documentaries that you won't find in mainstream cinemas.

In preparation for the festival, selectors view over 500 submissions from local and international directors with an experimental eye. Successful films are screened at movie theatres, galleries, bars, and cafes across the city over 10 glorious days of independent cinephilia.

There's so much on offer at this year's Rev that it's almost stressful. To help you make the most of the festival, we've narrowed the schedule down to a list of must-sees.

We're also giving away a lucrative Gold Pass to the festival, which will give you free entry to all the films on the lineup and the opening night party. The runner-up will score a double pass to see the VICE documentary Chemsex. For your chance to win, scroll down to enter.

Swiss Army Man

Daniel Radcliffe will do anything to prove he's more than Harry Potter, and that includes playing a farting corpse on the big screen.

Swiss Army Man

is a weird but endearing buddy comedy about a man stranded on an island with only a dead body for company, and we promise you'll have forgotten all about Hogwarts by the second scene.

Time for Love

The ever popular Iranian Film Festival returns this year as a Revelation offshoot, and this romantic drama is one of our top picks from the line up. A blockbuster hit in Iran, Time for Love weaves a complicated tale about a divorce lawyer who takes on a case which turns out to be against her own husband.

Jim Henson: Behind the Seams

This year Revelation Film Festival is staging a mini Jim Henson retrospective, celebrating not only the visionary muppeteer's well known family films but also his past as a countercultural filmmaker. This documentary provides a behind-the-scenes look at Henson's lesser-known creative life. Take it in before you hit up screenings of Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal.

Dude Bro Party Massacre III

Screening as part of the festival's late night program, this 1980s slasher film send-up turns the conventions of everyone's favourite VHS genre on their head. Instead of screaming women victims, the frat bros get what's coming to them in a series of increasingly gory episodes. Look out for an appearance by Greg Sestero, aka Mark from

The Room

Chemsex

The dangerous thrills of drug-driven sex get put under the microscope in this VICE documentary about the emerging chemsex community, which has grown in popularity through gay sex apps like Grindr. You're not going to watch anything else like it this year.

Louis Theroux: My Scientology Movie

Cult sex symbol and weirdo documentarian Louis Theroux bravely takes on the Church of Scientology in this sometimes-disturbing analysis that sees him talking to ex-members of the notoriously private celebrity religion. You'll come out of it as fascinated and confused about Operating Thetan Levels as ever.
