Test Fest & The 48 Hour Best

One day, two unmissable film events. Test Fest & The 48 Hour Best is a unique event that brings together two film festivals under one roof at the iconic Queens Theatre.

Test Fest will feature a day program of local film screenings, filmmaker Q&As, Crewlympics competitions (how fast can you set up a c-stand?), panel discussions, and much more.

In the evening, we will present the Best of the Adelaide 48 Hour Film Project 2024, Adelaide's largest timed filmmaking competition. Join us for the awards ceremony and film screening as we find out who will take home the title of Best Film of Adelaide 2024 and represent our city in the international competition. Then we'll kick on with an after party with music, mingling and you guessed it, even more films.

Join us for the full day event, or just don your best red carpet looks and join us for the 48 Hour Best!
