Though the next fully fledged installment of The Adelaide Film Festival isn’t set to unspool until 2017, the fest organisers have decided to give filmgoers in The City Of Churches a stop-gap treat through October. This pop-up fest will premiere works commissioned by The Adelaide Film Festival Fund, including the Australian premieres of Australia’s first Muslim rom-com, Ali’s Wedding (based on the life of actor, writer, and comedian, Osamah Sami) and a special “work in progress” screening of the highly anticipated David Stratton’s Stories Of Australian Cinema. There will also be a special retrospective screening of the pithy, charming political comedy drama, Lucky Miles.

“I am delighted that the riches of The Adelaide Film Festival Fund have spilled over into 2016, particularly following the recent international and national success of the previous Fund project, Girl Asleep,” says Minister For The Arts, The Hon Jack Snelling said. “I look forward to seeing what this visionary Fund has produced next at this special one-off event ahead of the return of the fully-fledged Adelaide Film Festival in 2017.”
