AFFIF

Although we're Australia's youngest film festival, AFF has led the country in encouraging local production. The Investment Fund provides $1 million every two years for equity investment in works which will premiere at AFF. Since its inception before AFF05, the fund has produced outstanding results, going two out of two for AFI Best Film Awards with Look Both Ways (2005) and Ten Canoes (2006). This year we have invested in four features (Boxing Day, Dr. Plonk, The Home Song Stories, and Lucky Miles), three documentary features (Forbidden Lie$, Kalaupapa—Heaven, and Words from the City) and five shorts (Crocodile Dreaming, Spike Up, Sweet and Sour, Swing and What the Future Sounded Like).
