All-Inclusive Film International Network
A Brisbane-based, internationally connected film festival that recognises bold storytelling, equal-footing curation, and direct introductions to sales agents and distributors.
AFIN, the All-Inclusive Film International Network, is a Brisbane-based, internationally connected film festival. Entries are evaluated on artistic value, originality, distributable appeal, production quality, and narrative. Live screenings take place in Brisbane, followed by a formal red-carpet awards ceremony at SunPAC.
AFIN sits inside the Top 100 Best Reviewed festivals on FilmFreeway: a trust signal earned from filmmakers themselves, not from us. That recognition reflects an explicit choice: budget constraints are weighed into every selection, projects submitted in one category are considered for multiple awards, and every entry receives written feedback at affordable pricing.
AFIN is consistently ranked among the Top 100 Best Reviewed festivals on FilmFreeway : a trust signal earned from filmmakers themselves. Reviews come from entrants who've walked the full submit / screen / award path; no marketing department can game that.
Entries are selected and screened based on their artistic value, originality, globally distributable appeal, production values/quality, and narrative content. The festival includes live screening nights in Brisbane, Australia which are attended by film makers and film lovers alike, and a formal red carpet awards night.
We have direct links with international sales agents and distributors and make special introductions for certain awards winners (Best Feature and Best Australian Film), to assist them in achieving success.
An open, and market orientated film industry event, AFIN supports innovation and exploration in film, and provides networking opportunities for local and international film makers.
AFIN aims to aid in the development and encouragement of film makers regardless of nationality or experience level, and revels in supporting worldwide cultural exchange via cinematic experience.
We value, and seek to recognise films and screenplays which are engaging, thought provoking, and innovative; be that through concept originality, or exploring narrative, premise or style in a new way.
AFIN selects films which celebrate and execute high production values, but also understands that budget restraints can sometimes factor into technical production constraints, and takes this into consideration when making official selections.
AFIN aims to provide a platform for filmmakers and writers to be seen and heard as best as possible. With this goal, filmmakers don't need to submit their projects for multiple categories to be considered for different awards: in fact, each project only needs to be submitted for one category.
With each submission, the project will be considered for several awards, and every entry will be offered feedback. All of this happens with a very affordable price.
Specific screening dates and venues are announced once the 2026 program is locked. Subscribe via the home page (Phase C3, currently mailto) or follow AFIN on social to be first to hear.
