Acknowledgement of Country
Screen Queensland acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as Traditional Custodians of Australia. We recognise their 65,000 years of custodianship that pre-dates colonisation. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and recognise the cultural and historic connection to land, sea, cosmos (the inclusion of the constellations that are part of a Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander spiritual and environmental narrative) and community. Screen Queensland is committed to elevating the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practitioners to continue to share their rich cultures and perspectives with the Queensland and global community through screen storytelling. Screen Queensland understands the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and practitioners to be leaders in their own narratives to promote inclusion, collaboration and authenticity. Always was, always will be.

The Travelling Film Festival tours to 18 locations across Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory, presenting a selection of Australian and International films – including features, documentaries and short films – to regional audiences who would not otherwise have the opportunity to see them at their local cinema. The Festival also offers Queensland audiences a direct engagement with Australian filmmakers who tour with the Festival, and take part in film relevant workshops and Q&A sessions where possible.
