Screen Queensland is inviting expressions of interest from experienced screen or film producers to deliver a bold, distinctive and transformative Brisbane International Film Festival (BIFF). This is an exceptional opportunity for Queensland-based festival producers—or those collaborating with Queensland creatives or companies—to propose an innovative, daring and scalable vision for BIFF’s future. The goal is to elevate the festival’s impact and reputation through a five-year growth plan, positioning it as a distinctly Brisbane-first, world-class event.

The vision for BIFF reflects Brisbane’s rapid growth and cultural evolution as the city prepares for the Los Angeles 2028 baton exchange and the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games, recognising the cultural significance of these historic milestones.

Stage 1 Expressions of Interest close 5pm AEST, Tuesday 28 January 2025.

• Stage 2 due by Monday 10 March 2025, 5pm AEST
