Final weekend of AFF 2026.

We're making the most of our last weekend at AFF 2026! Catch our AFF Feature Fiction and Feature Documentary Award winners, celebrate 30 years of Shine, join us for free film and campfire yarns at Yitpi Yartapuultiku, and round out the Festival with our Closing Night Gala featuring the World Premiere of AFFIF-supported film Hell Has No Fire Escape.

AFF 2026 Feature Fiction and Feature Documentary Award Winners Announced

The Smell of Apples, directed by John Trengove, has won the AFF Feature Fiction Award, while Dragana Jurišić's The Balkan Cowboy has taken home the AFF Feature Documentary Award.

Both award-winning films are screening again this Saturday, 24 October, so there's still time to catch them on the big screen.

The Festival might be wrapping up on Sunday 25 October, but we're not quite ready to say goodbye to the big screen!

We're bringing six films from the AFF 2026 program back to cinemas with our Encore Screenings, running 27–29 October at Palace Nova Eastend.
