Screenrights Roundtables

Roundtables provide delegates with a unique opportunity to meet commissioners, producers, production service businesses, distributors, festival directors and screen agencies in a relaxed and intimate environment.

Delegates join a table of 15 to discuss the host's role and organisation, screen industry trends and the types of projects currently being commissioned or financed. Pitching is not permitted. Each session runs for 25 minutes.

Round 1 of SPA Connect bookings has now closed. Round 2 opens on 12pm AEDT on 8 February 2021. Delegates will be emailed a direct link to submit their preferences. Delegates can submit their top five (5) preferences for Screenrights Roundtables and Ready, Steady, Pitch! respectively.

Due to the volume of applications, we are unable to guarantee places with any hosts but will endeavour to secure you two (2) pitches and two (2) roundtables with your preferred hosts per round.
