Apply for the Jogja NETPAC Asian Film Festival Market.

In 2024, Adelaide Film Festival (AFF) has partnered with Jogja NETPAC Asian Film Festival (JAFF) Indonesia and Mylab with the aim of nurturing the development of two projects.

We are now seeking expressions of interest from Australian filmmakers to participate in this development initiative aimed at cultivating enhanced connectivity between Australian and Indonesian filmmakers, and to promote greater cultural understanding between the two countries.

We are focussed on establishing relationships, networks and collaborations to result in a co-production between both countries.

AFF and JAFF are also working with MyLab, who will assist in relationship building between the selected Australian filmmakers and the Indonesian participating filmmakers at the newly established JAFF Market (3-5 December) at the 2024 JOGJA NETPAC Asian Film Festival (30 Nov – 7 Dec).

The initiative offers two Australian project teams with existing feature film or feature length documentary projects containing suitable Indonesian story or production elements the opportunity to engage in the inaugural JAFF Market with structured support from Mylab. The initiative is best suited to existing projects seeking further development and SE Asian production partners and best suited to project teams comprising a producer and director.
