Cairns Screen Industry Forum/Workshop is a one-day workshop followed by a day of individual consultations for the practitioners of the Far North Queensland screen industry, to assess the current situation as well as the potential for the screen industry in Far North Queensland.
Screen Queensland has engaged Screenworks to undertake this work in Far North Queensland, working with the industry and Cairns Regional Council to develop opportunities and networks for the Cairns region.
The workshop will provide attendees with information about industry opportunities currently available, as well as the opportunity to network with other screen industry practitioners. Most importantly, it will provide a chance for locals to help shape the future of the screen industry in Far North Queensland.
The intention of the workshop/forum will not necessarily be to find absolute solutions, but to explore and understand all the issues at hand. The information shared and the understanding gained by the participants is the most important outcome. During the day, participants will take part in a staged SWOT Analysis.
On the day after the workshop, Screenworks will undertake a number of one-on-one consultations to discover more about individual needs, projects and aspirations. These one-on-ones will provide individuals the opportunity to raise matters that they don’t feel comfortable raising as part of a group environment.
