The Adelaide Film Festival (AFF, formerly ADLFF) is a film festival usually held for two weeks in mid-October in cinemas in Adelaide, South Australia. Originally presented biennially in March from 2003, since 2013 AFF has been held in October. Subject to funding, the festival has staged full or briefer events in alternating years; some form of event has taken place every year since 2015. From 2022 it takes place annually. It has a strong focus on local South Australian and Australian produced content, with the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund (AFFIF) established to fund investment in Australian films.

Established in 2003 as Adelaide International Film Festival, it dropped "International" from its title after the inaugural edition, as it dropped its FIAPF membership the following year. It was, however, the first film festival in Australia to introduce an international competition, as well as being the first to fund film production directly.

The festival hosts a number of awards, including the Don Dunstan Awards (for lifetime contrtibution); Best Feature Fiction; Best Feature Documentary; Bettison & James Award; and others. In 2017 the International Virtual Reality Award was launched by AFF in partnership with the Australian Film, Television and Radio School (AFTRS), known as the AFTRS ADL Film Fest International VR Award.

The 2024 festival ran from 23 October to 3 November.

History

[edit]

Overview

[edit]

An independently financed Adelaide International Film Festival (AIFF) had been held from 1959 to 1980.[1] The idea of a new film festival to stimulate the local film industry and celebrate the 30th anniversary of the South Australian Film Corporation was raised by Premier Mike Rann in 2002, and a director and board were appointed.[2] The Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund was created to fund the Film Festival and other events.[1]

The inaugural Adelaide (International) Film Festival was held from 28 February to 3 March 2003. It ran a programme of screenings, special events and forums in a number of cinemas across Adelaide.[1] It was the first film festival in Australia to introduce an international competition, and also the first to create an investment fund specifically for film production.[3]

After its first edition, the festival ceased to use "International" in its title,[4] denoting a withdrawal from FIAPF membership. It was known as the BigPond Adelaide Film Festival, or BAFF, for a period until 2011, as its main sponsor had been BigPond.[5]

Since the first event in 2003, the Festival has been held (originally in odd-numbered years) in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016 (a one-off "Rogue" event), 2017, 2018, and a "pop-up" weekend festival in March 2019.[6]

Audiences have grown year on year, with an audience of more than 64,000 people in 2018, and estimated to have had an impact of A$26.5 million on the state's economy.[7] The 2022 festival's audience and box office broke all previous records.[8]

As of July 2022 the festival had been held 11 times since, usually biennially but as an annual event from 2015 to 2018 (with occasional mini-events in intervening years[9][10]). In 2022 it was announced that the full festival would be presented each year, instead of biennially, after the Malinauskas government pledged A$500,000 annually for the following four years.[11][12]

In May 2024, Adelaide Film Festival launched its "Adelaide Film Festival Goes to Cannes" program.[13] It partnered with Cannes Film Festival's film market, the Marché du Film, to showcase five local projects in an official presentation, as well as taking a group of ten South Australian filmmakers to participate in a program of activities there. The film projects are Kangaroo Island, Lesbian Space Princess, Mockbuster, The Iron Winter, and With or Without You. Ten filmmakers were selected for the group travelling to Cannes: Sandy Cameron, Ben Golotta, Timothy David, Kelly Schilling, Leela Varghese, Travis Akbar, Lisa Scott, Joshua Trevorrow, Matt Vesely, and Nara Wilson.[14]

Locations

[edit]

From 2017 to 2020, festival events took place mainly at the GU Filmhouse in Hindley Street (defunct as of 1 October 2020), with some sessions at the smaller Mercury Cinema in Morphett Street.[7]

In 2020, most screenings were hosted by Palace Nova at their Eastend and Prospect locations, with some showings at Mitcham Wallis Cinemas at Mitcham Square Shopping Centre, Odeon Star in Semaphore, Tandanya,[15] the Warriparinga Wetlands,[16] and at Alberton Oval.[17] In 2022, for the first time, screenings also took place at the Capri Theatre in Goodwood, Her Majesty's Theatre, and Event Cinemas Marion, in addition to the two Palace Nova locations, Wallis Mitcham, and Odeon Semaphore.[8] In 2024, screenings take place at the recently refurbished Piccadilly Cinema in North Adelaide, as well as the Palace Nova Eastend, Semaphore Odeon, and Mercury Cinema.[18]

Festival directors

[edit]

Katrina Sedgwick was the festival's founding director in 2002.[19][2] She had previously co-founded the 1995 Sydney Fringe Festival, was the Special Events Producer (1998, 2000) for the Adelaide Festival of Arts, and the artistic director for the 2002 Adelaide Fringe.[20] In 2007, Sedgwick introduced an international jury prize to the festival.[2] At the time of her stepping down from the role of Festival director in 2013, Sedgwick said that the festival was the first in Australia to introduce an international competition, and a production fund, and that ticket sales had grown by 20 per cent each year.[21]

2013 was Amanda Duthie's first year as festival director, after spending eight years at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and eight years at the Special Broadcasting Service during the 1990s.[22]

After running the festival's programming from 2015 to 2018, Mat Kesting was appointed as the new CEO and creative director in 2019.[23] Kesting is originally from Adelaide, and went to Melbourne to study media and cinema studies.[24] He had become more interested in film while at university,[25] and from 1999 to 2009[23] ran a filmmaking competition and short-film festival called 15/15 Film Festival, which toured around Australia after an opening event in Melbourne that sold out a large venue.[25] He was program manager at the Brisbane International Film Festival from 2006 until 2008;[23] programmed six editions of the "On Screen" strand of OzAsia Festival in Adelaide; and was exhibition manager at the Mercury Cinema.[23] In 2019 he was named at Cannes as one of Screen International's Future Leaders.[24] As of 2024 he remains the director of Adelaide Film Festival.[13]

2024 AFF: 23 October — 3 November

[edit]

In 2024, SA filmmaker Sophie Hyde took over from former patrons Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton, who had occupied the role for around ten years.[26][27]

The 2024 event featured over 110 films from 46 countries, with 15 world premieres. The opening night gala film was The Correspondent, based on journalist Peter Greste's memoir The First Casualty, directed by Kriv Stenders and starring Richard Roxburgh, both of whom were in attendance. Kangaroo Island, a drama film directed by South Australian ex-pat Tim Piper (aka Timothy David) and set on Kangaroo Island, premiered on the closing night.[28] Other films included The Order; The Room Next Door; Maria; The Brutalist; Pavements;[29] and Film Lab/New Voices animated comedy Lesbian Space Princess.[30]

The 2024 jury comprised the CEO of Preciosa Media, Claudia Rodríguez Valencia; director Leena Khobragade; Closer Productions founder and co-director Matthew Bate; film journalist and critic Stephen A Russell; and Penny Smallacombe, who is head of scripted at Blackfella Films.[28]

The films screened at the Palace Nova Eastend, Piccadilly Cinema in North Adelaide, Capri Theatre in Goodwood, Mercury Cinema, and Odeon Star Semaphore. Events were also held in the Samstag Museum of Art.[31]

Patrons and board

Recognition

[edit]

In 2007, the AFF featured in Variety Magazine's Top 50 unmissable film festivals around the world,[35][36] saying: "Of the planet’s 1,000-plus film fests, only a select few pack industry impact. A few dozen more, by virtue of vision, originality, striking setting, audience zest and/or their ability to mine a unique niche, also rank as must-attends".

The Adelaide Film Festival's 2020 event was awarded "Best Festival" at the 2021 South Australian Ruby Awards, an annual ceremony which recognises outstanding achievement in South Australia’s arts and culture sector.

In 2018, The Unknown Patient, by Australian director Michael Beets won the award.[96][56]

Indigenous Feature Documentary Initiative

[edit]

In partnership with Screen Australia, KOJO and the National Film and Sound Archive, this initiative, the first of its kind, was created in 2015 to support an "innovative, observational and/or social justice documentary" with a funding package of up to A$738,000. The award provided funding for an established Indigenous film-maker to make a feature-length documentary, providing funding for the director and a producer.[97]

Eualeyai/Kamillaroi writer and academic Larissa Behrendt, along with Michaela Perske as writer and producer,[98] were awarded the funding in 2016 to work on their feature documentary project, After the Apology.[99][100]

On 9 October 2017, AFF held the world première of the resulting film,[101] and it was sold out at the Winda Film Festival in Sydney in November of that year. The film focuses on a group of grandmothers (Grandmothers Against Removals) taking on the system over the increase in Indigenous child removal in the years following Kevin Rudd's Apology to Australia's Indigenous peoples, in which he offered an apology on behalf of the Australian Government to the Stolen Generations resulting from historic child removal policies in Australia.[102] It won Best Direction of a Documentary Feature Film from the Australian Directors Guild in 2018, and was nominated in three categories in the 2018 AACTA Awards: Best Direction in Nonfiction Television (Larissa Behrendt); Best Documentary or Factual Program (Michaela Perske); and Best Original Music Score in A Documentary (Caitlin Yeo).[103][104]

This program supports emerging filmmakers, with three teams selected for mentoring over an 11-month development period and one team then selected for funding to complete a low-budget feature film which is premiered at the next AFF.[112][113][114]

The low budget sci-fi thriller Monolith was announced as being the first project funded by the initiative.[115] The winning team, comprising director Matt Vesely, producer Bettina Hamilton and writer Lucy Campbell, were given six months to develop, shoot and edit their film, which premiered at the 2022 Festival to much acclaim. Monolith, which features Australian actress Lily Sullivan, has since gone to screen at pop culture festival SXSW and will receive a general cinema release in mid-2023.[116]

Having previously been held biennially, the highlight of "AFF Goes Rogue" in October 2016 was a 4-day "mini-festival" in the in-between year. The first of the works commissioned by the Adelaide Film Festival Fund in that month was the Australian premiere season of Lynette Wallworth's Collisions[10] (5–30 October). Then there was a free talk by Greg Mackie at the Adelaide Festival of Ideas on 23 October, and the events culminated in a 4-day mini-festival (27–30 October) featuring world premiere screenings of two films – Australia's first Muslim rom-com Ali's Wedding, based on the life of actor, writer and comedian Osamah Sami, and a special "work in progress" screening of David Stratton's Stories of Australian Cinema, directed by Sally Aitken[118] (later released as David Stratton: A Cinematic Life[119][120][121]).

[edit]

In 2020 the Adelaide Film Festival was scheduled to run from 14 to 25 October, one of the few events of its type during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic,[126] but due to the success of the festival, an extended run of selected films was scheduled as part of the Best of the Fest programme, re-showing ten of the programmed films from 26 to 30 October.[127]

To open the festival, the locally filmed sci-fi thriller 2067 played in seven cinemas simultaneously, with extra screenings added due to demand.[128] One of the headlining films was I Am Woman, starring Adelaide actor Tilda Cobham-Hervey, who returned from Los Angeles in September. Other films included the documentary The Painter and the Thief, and High Ground, and the films include 22 world premieres, 27 Australian premieres and a total of 54 feature films from many countries.[126]

The competition jury comprised playwright and screenwriter Andrew Bovell, actor Natasha Wanganeen, filmmaker Khoa Do, producer Rebecca Summerton of Closer Productions, and film critic Zak Hepburn.[106][107]

The earliest screening at the festival took place on 22 August, with several early showings of I Am Woman;[129] the final event, a documentary about Port Adelaide Football Club called This is Port Adelaide, premiered at Odeon Star Semaphore from 5–7 February 2021.[130]

The new South Australian film Monolith had its world premiere at the festival[133] on 27 October 2022.[134] It was announced after the opening weekend that several films would get a second outing in the week following the festival, including TÁR, Monolith, Talk to Me, The Last Daughter, and Triangle of Sadness.[135][58]
