Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund was established in 2003 by the South Australian Premier , Mike Rann , to boost the local production of films . When the American festival director Peter Sellars was director of the 2002 Adelaide Festival of Arts , he commissioned five films . Four of those films won awards , including '' The Tracker '' , '' Beneath Clouds '' and '' Walking on Water '' . That success prompted the State Government to provide the Adelaide Film Festival ( AFF ) with a production investment fund , which the AFF administers . Up to $ 1,000,000 is made available over a two year period . The Adelaide Film Festival Board selects projects , based on recommendations from the Festival Director , and the slate of pictures produced premieres at the event
