Last year marked the exciting debut of the Brisbane Asia Pacific Film Festival (BAPFF), which ran concurrently with APSA. In partnership with APSA, Brisbane audiences had the opportunity to see several 2014 APSA-nominated films with selected screenings also featuring Q&A sessions with attending nominees. BAPFF also programmed a number of gala events, Q&As with Asia Pacific filmmakers, panel discussionsand a special conversation with APSA International Jury President Asghar Farhadi and a retrospective of his works.
