Screenwest has opened a competitive travel round to support WA screen producers attending the Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC) 2024, taking place on the Gold Coast from the 28 October – 1 November 2024.

AIMC provides an opportunity to gain insight into the local and international theatrical marketplace, discuss the latest technologies and network with industry executives from Australia, New Zealand, Asia, US and Europe.

WA First Nations practitioners and WA practitioners from historically underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.

A set amount of $1,500 to assist with flights and accommodation will be provided. A budget is not required as part of the application.
