Welcome to the Gold Coast for SCREEN FOREVER 40.
Screen Queensland, through the Queensland Government is proud to continue our longstanding partnership with Screen Producers Australia to host this signature event within one of Australia’s most vibrant creative regions.
Celebrating four decades, SCREEN FOREVER connects the sector and highlights the talent, passion and achievements of the Australian screen industry by providing space to share ideas, challenge assumptions and explore new possibilities together.
We are experiencing real momentum here in Queensland where we are focused on supporting the local sector to go from good to great. From digital-first formats to traditional platforms; from short-form to long-form; and from local to global markets—the sunshine state has become an increasingly energetic hub for creatives working across every stage of the screen pipeline.
Over three finely focused days, we can harness the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit that defines our sector. Together we can explore innovative approaches to storytelling, discover emerging audiences and reimagine models for funding, collaboration and distribution in a changing landscape.
As we look ahead, we must ask: which partnerships will strengthen our industry, where can we innovate and think differently, and what elements must remain at the core of the stories we tell?
Events like SCREEN FOREVER 40 demonstrate what is possible when our sector comes together. Our screen stories are a vital part of Australia’s cultural identity, so I hope you leave this year’s conference with meaningful connections, fresh inspiration and optimism about the future of our industry.
