Adelaide Film Festival (AFF) has again partnered with the Cannes Film Festival's March du Film to showcase Australian filmmaking as part of the world's largest film market, at the prestigious Festival de Cannes, 12-26 May 2026.

AFF is now calling for submissions from across Australia for the chance to be showcased as part of the Marche's Goes to Cannes platform.

They are seeking five fresh and original feature projects (feature or doc) that are near completion/ or are works-in-progress to showcase as part of the coveted Goes to Cannes platform that has a unique cut through in the market.

The objective of this initiative is to connect Australian films with the global market, to uplift sales and prospects such as international festival premieres for the projects. The five films selected are presented to an audience of sales agents, distributors, investors, programmers and other market delegates.

Successful submissions will receive a complementary March accreditation and be included as an official 'AFF Goes to Cannes' selection. Selected projects will be eligible for a suite of prizes including a 10,000 euro cash prize presented by Sideral.

Feature filmmakers from any state in Australia with recently completed or works in progress (feature fiction, documentary or animation) are invited to submit Expressions of Interest by COB, Wednesday 18 March 2026.
