Examining how film can be used to preserve and celebrate the diverse cultures of the Asia Pacific. The conversation will highlight the responsibility of filmmakers to represent their communities authentically and explore how stories rooted in land can shape both national identity and receive global recognition.
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.
