Only the Brave is a 1994 Australian film directed by Ana Kokkinos. It focuses on two young Greek Australian friends, Alex (Elena Mandalis) and Vicki (Dora Kaskanis) in Melbourne’s Western suburbs. It received acclaim upon release, winning Best Film at the Melbourne International Film Festival and Best Short Film at the 1994 Australian Film Institute Awards.[2][3]

Several of the actors (Mandalis, Kaskanis & Eugenia Fragos) were later cast in Greek Australian roles in Kokkinos' 1998 drama film, Head On.[4]
