Adelaide Independent Film Festival

The Adelaide Independent Film Festival (AIFF) is an annual celebration of short films, presented across two of Adelaide's iconic cinema venues: the heritage-listed Capri Theatre and The Mercury.

Held in October, the AIFF showcases diverse and thought-provoking stories from local, national and international filmmakers, giving audiences the opportunity to discover emerging voices and established talent from Australia and around the world.

Join them to launch the AIFF with an unforgettable celebration of independent cinema. Whether you're planning a date night, catching up with friends, or love discovering bold new voices, this is an evening not to miss.

To add extra flavour to the mix, arrive early to experience the Capri Theatre's iconic Wurlitzer Theatre Organ, indulge in complimentary canapés from Good Gilbert and Asha during intermission, and get up close with filmmakers from the Official Selection in an engaging Q&A after the screening.

Dive deeper into the world of film at The Mercury for a jam-packed day of talks and screenings with leading voices from the screen industry.

Past AIFF attendees have included former South Australian Premier Steven Marshall, Adelaide Film Festival Special Initiatives Manager Julianne Pierce, The Mercury CEO Sarah Lancaster, and other prominent figures from the screen industry and wider community.
