The Adelaide Film Festival (AFF) is an international film festival held over two weeks in mid October, in Adelaide, South Australia. The AFF has a strong focus on local South Australian and Australian produced content, with the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund (AFFIF) established to fund investment in Australian films, of $1,000,000 per festival.
The AFF featured in Variety Magazine's Top 50 unmissable film festivals around the world. They qualified their search by saying:
First established in May 2002, by South Australian Premier Hon. Mike Rann to stimulate the local film industry and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the South Australian Film Corporation, the festival showcases and explores contemporary screen culture with a program of screenings, special events and forum sessions.
The inaugural Adelaide Film Festival was held between 28 February to 3 March 2003. After 150 screenings, the festival was met with both critical acclaim and popular support, with a third of the ninety ticketed screenings sold out.
An earlier independently-financed Adelaide International Film Festival had been held from 1959 to 1980.
The Adelaide Film Festival has been held in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 (a one-off "Rogue" event), and 2017. An additional full festival and funding round has been announced for 2018.
