The National Indian Film Festival of Australia is the first and only national celebration of Indian cinema, and the largest national celebration of Indian cinema anywhere outside India.

In 2026, NIFFA proudly brings Alice Springs into its inaugural Northern Territory edition for the very first time, presenting a curated program of contemporary Indian cinema in the heart of Central Australia at Araluen Arts Centre and Alice Springs Cinema.

Featuring Australian premieres, special screenings, red carpet events and vibrant cultural moments, NIFFA Alice Springs celebrates the richness, diversity and global impact of one of the world’s most dynamic film industries, while creating a new platform for audiences in Alice Springs to connect through cinema, culture and community.
