The Adelaide Independent Film Festival is pleased to announce that submissions for the 2026 Script Swap program are now open.
The Script Swap program offers Australian screenwriters an opportunity to receive constructive feedback from their peers and gain recognition for their achievements.
Participation in this free program provides a dedicated environment for developing screenplays. Each screenplay will be assigned to a participant, who will complete a feedback form by the due date. After the program concludes, participants will receive the feedback associated with their screenplay(s).
A panel of judges will review six nominated screenplays, with the winners of Best Interstate Screenplay and Best South Australian Screenplay announced on 3 October at the 2026 Adelaide Independent Film Festival.
The AIFF continues to receive support from the South Australian Film Corporation and Sarah Lancaster, CEO of The Mercury, with more industry leaders to be announced soon.
