The Big Screen Symposium is the annual event that puts the filmmakers of Aotearoa New Zealand in one venue for the purpose of debate, discussion, information and inspiration.

This year’s Big Screen Symposium will take place on 10/11 October, 2015.

The Big Screen Symposium is designed for all those who bring our stories to the big screen: from directors, writers and producers to musicians, actors and technicians to business people, distributors and film students. It presents a big picture of the world of cinema, a great networking opportunity, and a wealth of insights and nuts and bolts information on the pertinent issues facing filmmakers today. In 2014 it attracted over 400 delegates.

The 2015 programme is built around the theme ‘Strenghtening our Collaborative Spirit,’ and delegates will be immersed in two intensive days of conversations, workshops, panel discussions and case studies with a stellar line-up of local and international filmmaker speakers.

The Big Screen Symposium is brought to you by Script to Screen and J&A Productions.
