IMPORTANT UPDATE

The second stage of the inaugural Australian Feature Film Summit, due to be held in February, will shift to the new date of Thursday 12 May 2022 at Event Cinemas George Street, Sydney. The move reflects NACO’s decision to shift its annual Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC) to May.

As a result of pushing back the date, the deadline for the AFFS Road Test feature submissions has also been extended to 5pm on Wednesday 15 December 2021. Please visit the AFFS website for further details.
