AFIN Memberships
Already recognised by AFIN? It is already yours.
Nominees, any year: Creator membership that never expires.
A $69 AUD/year membership with no expiry, because your work earned it.
Winners, any year: Industry membership that never expires.
A $129 AUD/year membership with no expiry, because your work earned it.
This is not a discount. It is the festival permanently investing in every filmmaker and screenwriter it has ever recognised, and it never expires, never lapses, and never depends on anything you buy.
You pay nothing for it, ever: not now, not at renewal, not for anything on the list.
Already set up your AFIN account? Sign in. Not sure where to start? We wrote a page for that.
One global network for the people who make film. Never been to AFIN yet? Founding membership from $49 AUD for your first year.

Founding pricing is your first year at the founding price, then the standard price. Joining in the founding window also brings the Founding Member badge, yours for as long as you are a member and shown on your page while you are listed in the AFIN Directory, as does claiming your page by Sunday 8 November 2026. All prices in Australian dollars (AUD).
Our promise, plainly: gifted memberships and founding benefits are honoured for the life of the membership programme, and we intend that to be a very long life. If circumstances ever force a change, recognised filmmakers will always be offered the fairest equivalent we can honestly give. A benefit marked Coming is something we are building, not a promise of when or whether it lands; if one cannot be delivered we will say so plainly rather than quietly drop it. Full terms publish before memberships open.
What we are building
Your page, yours
Claim it and edit it. The festival team reviews what you write (your country and state go up without review), and it reaches the site at the next site update, usually overnight. Live now.
Judges on the record
The adjudicators with their seasons on the panel. Live now.
The projects board
List your project seeking funding, production, cast or crew - and be found.
The AFIN Directory
Every member who chose to be listed, by role and place, with one short request to any of them through AFIN. Live now.
Manage your projects
Owners and submitters update their own project - synopsis, statement, trailer, poster and stills - every change reviewed. Live now.
The global network
Find and reach the people you should be working with, on your terms: a reason, a message, a conversation on AFIN. Live now.
The online showcase
A global home for recognised work, with Industry members voting.
Casting discovery
Further out: casting calls meet the directory, and members hear first.
Member presale
First access to festival events, and the member area on the night.
Memberships are open.
New to AFIN? Joining starts with a free account. Then you choose and pay on your account page, on Stripe's secure page.
Founding pre-registration is open.
Already hold an AFIN account? Sign in - if AFIN has recognised your work, your membership may already be waiting.
…the website is much more than a festival platform: it is a genuine space for connecting filmmakers, artists and industry professionals, creating opportunities and building a real community.
