WE ARE BACK.
After the COVID interruption, India’s first and only celebration of Australian cinema returns.
A new website and a brand-new program are on their way. While we get them ready for you, take a look back at our previous festivals — and hear what some of Australia’s screen icons have said about AFFI.

WHY INDIA
India is the world’s largest film industry by output, with powerful regional industries and passionate audiences. AFFI puts Australian films and decision-makers in market — to meet distributors, develop projects, attract Indian productions to Australia and build relationships that generate investment, revenue and creative exchange.
WHY AFFI — NOW
Australia has a formal co-production pathway with India, but a treaty alone does not create deal flow or audience demand. AFFI supplies the missing platform: recurring visibility for Australian stories, direct access to Indian screen networks and a credible place to turn conversations into releases, productions, partnerships and long-term value.
HJ“The AFFI Initiative is one that will certainly help to expand the Australian/Indian connection.”
BL“Nothing excites me more than the prospect of our films playing in a special celebration…”
PN“Cinema is universal; it brings people together.”
ALWAYS INDEBTED
To our previous sponsors and strategic partners — thank you for your leadership and support.
