BAFF Chair, Cheryl Bart said ‘This year's festival has generated excitement not just for the diversity and strength of the program but for the overwhelming response to the new Australian works we've presented here over the past 11 days. It's particularly pleasing to see how many South Australian filmmakers have screened their work to acclaim and there is a strong sense of a new generation of significant talent here. Our ambition to create a festival that encourages conversation and creative collaboration has certainly been delivered. For more information, visit BAFF's website www.adelaidefilmfestival.org.
