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.

COMING OUT IN 2023
Roaring Entertainment’s debut feature film, A Savage Christmas is a Queensland-made dramatic comedy akin to Death at a Funeral and Silver Linings Playbook. After years of estrangement, trans woman Davina Savage finally returns home, only to find that her transition gets overshadowed by a family fiasco that not only threatens their lives, but yet another Christmas lunch!
