For the first time, the one-day industry event will be livestreamed across the country from Brisbane.
Screen Queensland CEO Jacqui Feeney said that In the Frame reflects the ambition the agency holds for local practitioners and production companies.
“This event presents a vital opportunity to unpack how we can collectively grow our vision, capacity and capability to bring more homegrown stories to more screens.
“In the Frame offers a program of provocative panels and insightful conversations with some of the screen sector’s experienced, astute and inspiring talents, who will explore how we can create new pathways for local practitioners with unique stories, to help them harness their potential and reach a wider audience.
“I encourage emerging and mid-career screen practitioners to take advantage of this accessible opportunity to hear from some of the leading lights of the industry about building enduring careers, while expanding their own experience and forging new connections.”
In the Frame: Screen Queensland Practitioners Forum will run from 8:30am to 6pm, with tickets $65 (plus booking fee) including lunch and networking refreshments available via screenqueensland.com.au. Livestream tickets are also available for $25 (plus booking fee).
