Asia Pacific Screen Forum
Beyond Borders
Asia Pacific Screen Forum
The Asia Pacific Screen Forum inspires new connections and generates dynamic discussions while pioneering innovative filmmaking approaches across the Asia Pacific. Building on the remarkable success of Connect: Navigating the Human Side of Co-Production, APSA will enhance its gamified Forum experience, focusing on timely industry topics that deliver practical skills and essential knowledge – making it an indispensable resource for industry professionals.
The Forum serves as a vital platform for diverse conversations exploring the challenges, opportunities, and emerging trends shaping the Asia Pacific film industry, while highlighting pathways for Queensland filmmakers and practitioners to actively engage with this vibrant sector.
Developed through extensive industry and community consultation, the program fosters knowledge sharing, cultural exchange, and meaningful collaborations between Australian filmmakers and their Asia Pacific counterparts. This collaborative approach ensures the delivery of programming that authentically represents and serves both community and industry needs, creating lasting impact through strategic co-productions and partnerships.
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.
