Welcome to the Gold Coast for Australia’s premier event for screen industry professionals – SCREEN FOREVER 38 – proudly supported by the Queensland Government.
As Principal Partner through Screen Queensland, it’s an honour to join with Screen Producers Australia (SPA) to host this industry experience as part of a renewed three-year partnership, as Queensland continues to build its reputation as a global screen production paradise.
I invite you to make the most of the conference, marketplace and awards components, and the networking opportunities these events offer.
The SPA Awards in particular, is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary creativity and talent within the Australian screen sector, while other events will provide a chance for pitching and screen deal negotiations.
From the 1980s, which saw the production of iconic Australian films such as The Man from Snowy River and the hosting of the first SPA conferences, through to 2024, which started with a bang with Boy Swallows Universe, our screen industry has been growing and sharing stories through the work of experienced and emerging industry talent.
Almost 30 per cent of all scripted feature films and series across broadcast, streaming and online platforms were made in Queensland in the past financial year.
The Queensland Government is committed to investing in the state’s screen sector, which continues to deliver economic benefits and jobs for talented Queensland graduates through to skilled practitioners.
Our state has a winning combination of competitive incentives, highly experienced crews, world-class facilities and stunning locations.
We encourage you to explore more of what we have to offer and wish you a successful and productive experience at SCREEN FOREVER 38.
