AFDIF believes that content from the screen, media, and performing arts plays a significant role in shaping Australian culture. By showcasing more diverse stories, we can create a richer and more reflective picture of contemporary Australia for our audiences. AFDIF also recognises that organisations, culture, and creativity benefit from stories that promote cultural diversity and inclusion.
“We had an amazing festival! 🎬✨ The AFDIF Film Festival 2025 was a wonderful celebration of filmmakers and stories from diverse and inclusive backgrounds, brought to life on the big screen.”

Our mission is to celebrate cultural diversity and inclusion on and behind the screen by providing a platform for under-represented voices. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are committed to doing our best, within the limits of our available resources, to ensure our festival is as accessible and welcoming as possible to all members of the community, including people living with disability.
AFDIF acknowledges the traditional Country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains and pays respect to elders past, present and emerging. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today.
