2024 Asia Pacific Screen Forum
Igniting and Honouring Cinematic Excellence
6th Asia Pacific Screen Forum
27 – 30 November 2024 on the Gold Coast, Australia.
Over four days local filmmakers, APSA Award nominees, and international delegates will connect through a series of roundtable discussions, networking events, workshops, and screenings. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and learn from a range of speakers from across the region through a dynamic program that supports Australian film practitioners to engage with pertinent industry issues, connecting the national industry with the global conversation.
The Forum program includes a full day of conversations and workshops, notably the centrepiece event, Connect: Navigating the Human Side of Co-Productions, which shifts the focus from projects to the people behind them. The program also features a special series honouring the late Aruna Vasudev; exclusive roundtables focusing on animation, directing and festival curation; a youth pitching workshop; and several networking opportunities including Reel Connections for early-career filmmakers.
The Asia Pacific Screen Academy expresses its respect for and acknowledgement of the South East Queensland Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We pay our respects to the Traditional Owners of country, including the custodial communities on whose land works are created and celebrated by the Asia Pacific Screen Awards. We acknowledge the continuing connection to land, waters and communities. We also pay our respects to Elders, past and present. We recognise the integral role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and First Nations peoples continue to play in storytelling and celebration spaces.
