Today, Screen Producers Australia (SPA) and Netflix are thrilled to announce Broad Horizons, an exciting new initiative designed to increase access and opportunities for First Nations screen professionals.
Broad Horizons will enable participants to develop their professional networks and raise their profiles by attending SCREEN FOREVER 38 (19-21 March 2024) — Australia’s premier screen conference and content marketplace.
“We believe in fostering career pathways for First Nations creatives and amplifying the diverse voices that shape our nation's identity. Broad Horizons goes beyond providing access to SCREEN FOREVER. It is about pioneering inclusivity for First Nations screen professionals from every corner of Australia and speaks to SPA and Netflix’s commitment to continuing to foster a more representative and vibrant industry,” said SPA CEO Matthew Deaner.
Each selected participant will receive complimentary SCREEN FOREVER 38 registration, return flights and accommodation to attend SCREEN FOREVER 38 on the Gold Coast, a 12-month SPA Associate Producer membership, and exclusive networking opportunities. During the conference they will gain industry insights from in-depth sessions with industry leaders, build their business acumen by participating in the SPA Connect Market, and grow their personal network by attending various social events.
