Asia Pacific Screen Awards & Forum 2026

Join us on the Gold Coast from 28–30 October 2026 for the Asia Pacific Screen Awards & Forum, three days celebrating the films, filmmakers and screen industries of the Asia Pacific.

This year, you can experience APSA your way, with tickets available for individual events and screenings, Forum day passes, or the complete three-day program with a Full Delegate Pass.

The program begins on Wednesday 28 October with the Asia Pacific Screen Forum, followed by a special Opening Night screening of the Australian classic Burke & Wills at Event Cinemas Pacific Fair. Australian screen legend and APSA Academy President Jack Thompson AM will be there to introduce the film before joining audiences for a special on-stage conversation reflecting on the production and his remarkable career.

Across Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 8th Asia Pacific Screen Forum will bring filmmakers, producers and screen industry professionals together for conversations, ideas and insights from across the region. On Thursday, Reel Connections offers another chance to meet and connect with filmmakers and industry guests in a more relaxed setting.

The three days culminate on Friday 30 October with the 19th Asia Pacific Screen Awards Ceremony at The Star Gold Coast, where nominated filmmakers and guests from across the region will come together to celebrate the year’s outstanding films, performances and creative achievements.

Individual APSA screenings will also be available to book throughout the program.

Whether you’re joining us for a single screening, spending a day at the Forum or coming along for the full APSA experience, choose your ticket and secure your place at APSA 2026.
