Gusto Films is an award-winning production company based in Melbourne. In addition to making documentary films, we also own & run the independent single screen cinema & bar, Thornbury Picture House & the outdoor cinema co. Blow Up Cinema.

Our latest film is THE LOST CITY OF MELBOURNE which we directed, produced and distributed. Following its world premiere at MIFF it won an AFCA (Australian Film Critics Association) award for Best Documentary and a Victorian History Prize. It was also the highest grossing Australian documentary in 2022 and is now streaming on SBS On Demand and Netflix and is also available to buy as a DVD. There is also a beautiful photographic book based on the film. More information on the project can be found here.
