The Adelaide Independent Film Festival (AIFF) is an annual celebration of short films proudly presented in a heritage-listed 1941 cinema in the festival state of South Australia.

Held in October, AIFF showcases a collection of diverse and complex stories from around the world, providing South Australian audiences with a window into the lives of people from both well-known and lesser-known countries.

Our official programme consists of national and international short films from independent filmmakers willing to test the boundaries of cinema and thrive in the realm of uncertainty.

The team at AIFF is building a reputation for melding an eclectic programme with a vibrant atmosphere in a space that craves quality cinema.

AIFF24 is proudly sponsored by The Mercury, CrewHQ, the Capri Theatre, the Fleurieu Film Festival, Pro AV Solutions, Alpha Trophies, the 48 Hour Film Project, and Actors Ink to name a few.

We encourage all national and international filmmakers to submit their short films for consideration.

We look forward to watching your work.
