SCREEN FOREVER / Program

Program

The program for SCREEN FOREVER 37 is bursting with prospects for storytellers to reconnect, be inspired and fuel business momentum.

Over three days, the Gold Coast will sizzle with  inspiring, thought-provoking and insightful sessions featuring leaders and mavericks from all corners of the industry.

Markets, trends and finance will be explored in agenda-setting discussions on the cutting-edge of distribution, streaming models, commissioning and the economic future of screen business.

Story and vision sessions will break down the craft and creativity of screen content with discussion topics ranging from trends and pathways to positive and inclusive change.

As producers strive to shift the status quo, the program will also investigate current directions in policy, industry challenges, evolving production models, and the embracing of technology.

Interactive development workshops will be programmed, providing a wealth of learning and up-skilling opportunities.

We acknowledge and pay respects to the Yugambeh people of the Gold Coast and all their descendants both past and present. We also acknowledge the many Aboriginal people from other regions as well as Torres Strait and South Sea Islander people who now live in the local area and have made an important contribution to the community.
