While the first two days, July 15 & 16, are sessions reserved for invited screenwriters and industry creatives, in-person and virtual tickets for members of the public for July 17 have almost sold out.

Day 3 session topics include:
• What Makes Great Bingeable TV
• Beef & The Bear: Creators in Conversation
• Australian Comedy that is Internationally Funny
• Australian Market vs International Market
• Transcending “Good Enough” into Great
“Australian film and television have a rich history of being watched and celebrated around the world,” Yeldham said. “Never before has there been more access or more competition for creatives to capture the attention of global audiences. As technology and market forces change the way we consume and create, the time is ripe to come together and share experiences and insights into how we connect with audiences, build sustainable careers and not just survive, but thrive.”
Future Vision is presented by Australians in Film, Screen Australia and VicScreen with Tourism Australia as Supporting Partner. Industry Partners include the ABC, Binge, Netflix and Stan. Our Venue Partner is ACMI and the Hotel Partner is Sofitel Melbourne On Collins.
