It has cemented its place in the growing Adelaide film festival scene and I am glad to support it in the future."

“I was very proud to have been included in the inaugural
Adelaide Independent Film Festival line-up. I was most impressed with the diversity and quality of the national and international films on offer. There were some absolute gems in there that I had not previously had the opportunity to see. I cannot wait to see what's on offer next time around!”
