Australian Feature Film Summit - MAY 12, 2021

The second stage of the inaugural Australian Feature Film Summit, will bring exhibitors, distributors, producers and investors together in two dynamic events designed to grow the current success of the Australian feature film sector and demonstrated audience appetite for its content.

Held on Thursday 12 May 2022, the AFFS will focus on the future and merge art and commerce, facilitating a valuable information exchange between the often-siloed parties of the screen industry and develop ideas for working together more effectively to ensure the success and growth of the theatrical film sector.

For the first time, exhibitors will be asked to share insights from working at the coalface in cinemas and provide valuable intel about what gets their audiences through the door. Exhibitors and distributors will also offer a peek at the data that drives programming decisions, while producers will be invited to lift the veil on the development and filmmaking process where the magic begins.

This event listing is for participation in the October event, details below:
