Presented in partnership with Screen Queensland

Roundtable Discussions

Building on the remarkably successful editions in previous years, the roundtable discussions in 2020 are comprised of four intimate discussions, providing a unique space for screen creatives to openly discuss their craft. While topics are familiar, the chance to openly discuss industries from different cultural, political, linguistic and budgetary frameworks provides an unparalleled opportunity for the participants to learn from each other.

These sessions are FREE, and open by expression of interest to a limited total number of participants to ensure an intimate conversation where everyone can contribute.
