“For fifteen years the Asia Pacific Screen Academy has gathered together in Queensland the exceptional filmmaking talent from the region to be celebrated at the prestigious Asia Pacific Screen Awards. Seizing the phenomenal opportunity offered by bringing such a wealth of talent together, the Asia Pacific Screen Forum was created to make further connections, have bigger conversations, spark dynamic collaborations. I look forward to welcoming participants both in person and online from the now more than 70 countries and areas represented at APSA in 2022.”
