Established in 2007, the Asia Pacific Screen Awards is the region’s highest accolade in film where cinematic excellence shines. With film from 78 countries and areas in the region, APSA honours filmmaking that best reflects its cultural origins and the diversity of Asia Pacific.

APSA’s reach goes beyond just simply giving out awards. APSA brings people together from all over the world, fostering international relationships and cultural awareness that has led to powerful ties and prosperous friendships between artists. Now in its 17th year, APSA continues to unearth the rich stories of the region and open doors and unique opportunities for those in the film industry.

APSA has created the Asia Pacific Screen Forum, a program of industry events that develop and nurture Asia Pacific filmmakers. It is an influential network where strategic and creative decisions are made, projects are championed, deals are done and collaborations are born.

Local filmmakers and industry are encouraged to meet and connect with this year’s nominees and APSA International Jury and panel members at the Asia Pacific Screen Forum.

Events include a wide selection of focused discussions on the filmmaking process, social networking opportunities to expand your connections and a number of special events. For more information on each event, visit our website.

The Asia Pacific Screen Academy acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and Owners of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community.
