The AACTA Industry Awards Ceremony will kick things off on Thursday February 8, followed by a day of industry events, masterclasses, and creator discussions on Friday. Saturday February 10 the AACTA Awards Ceremony will welcome all the stars on the red carpet. Finishing on Sunday February 11 with an array of screenings, live music, kids events, acting workshops, meet-and-greets, and more. Sunday will also feature the Screen Careers Expo presented by Essential Screen Skills, running all day and offering pathways for anyone wanting to break into the industry. It promises to be a great day out for the entire family.
AACTA Festival will provide an opportunity to go behind the scenes of your favourite films, immerse yourself in the industry’s latest trends, meet your favourite stars, network with screen practitioners, and learn more about the exciting world of Australian film, TV, gaming, music and more. Most events predominantly free to attend.
There are many interesting events which include Asian Australian creatives. This includes the likes of actor Remy Hii for the “Scary Girl” film panel discussion, a comedy night which includes comedians such as Nina Oyama, and of course the AACTA Awards which we hope will have many Asian/Asian Australian winners.
Definitely wish there were more events which feature Asian/Asian Australians, and we could be wrong but from the website there doesn’t appear to be many – which is disappointing.
Anyways, if you are around or planning to attend, let us know how it is, and lets hope some of the winners of the AACTA awards are Asian/Asian Australians.
