The second Adelaide Independent Film Festival will be returning to the Capri Theatre on 19 October 2024.
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 are building a reputation for melding an eclectic programme with a vibrant atmosphere in a space that craves quality cinema.
We encourage all national and international filmmakers to submit their short films for consideration.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us. We are more than happy to assist.
We look forward to watching your work.
