The SAFC is saddened to hear of the passing of award-winning Adelaide producer David Lightfoot on Sunday 13 June, 2021.
Having started his life in film at the SAFC in 1982, David went on to forge a screen career spanning more than three decades, and including over 80 long form credits including Australian classics like Babe, Bad Boy Bubby, Wolf Creek, The Sound of One Hand Clapping and more.
