About

Pause Fest is the ongoing manifestation of the world’s most digitally creative minds, presented as a series of events held annually over the second week in November.

Throughout the year, Pause Fest operates as an online global community, collaborating, sharing, engaging and celebrating digital creativity internationally. Pause Fest is a festival combining screenings of digital video and animations; interactive digital installations; digital industry leaders talks and panel discussions; and interactive events.

The November festival aims to bring the international online community, offline, transforming the streets, studios and exhibition spaces throughout Melbourne’s CBD into high-engagement hubs, presenting the world’s best creative work.

Pause Fest fosters the bond between young talent and the commercial industry, helping to continually inspire new ideas. It is a place for networking, and culminating business opportunities by showcasing the work of the world’s top agencies and artists, sharing the local knowledge and passion, educating visitors to the city and embracing the changed landscapes of creativity and art in the Post-PC era.
