Richard Gadd, Sally Wainwright and Soo Hugh
Australians in Film, in association with presenting partners Screen Australia and VicScreen, proudly announce the return of FUTURE VISION Australia's premier global television exchange for the world's top creative minds set to take place July 14 16 at ACMI, Australia's national museum of screen culture in Melbourne.
With the global screen industry in flux, FUTURE VISION enables Australia's leading creatives to connect and forge smarter collaborations with each other and international partners as they collectively reflect, reimagine and reinvigorate the way stories are told.
Three of the most powerful global voices in contemporary storytelling will headline the second annual event.
Richard Gadd, the multi-Emmy, Golden Globe and Peabody-winning creator and star of the cultural phenomenon Baby Reindeer.
Sally Wainwright, BAFTA award-winning creator and director of the critically acclaimed Happy Valley.
Soo Hugh, Peabody-winning and BAFTA-nominated creator of the internationally lauded series Pachinko.
Bruna Papandrea (Nine Perfect Strangers) and Tony Ayres (The Survivors), return as FUTURE VISION co-chairs, continuing their leadership at a time where strategic solutions have never been more important.
With the international screen industry confronting global market contraction, regulatory uncertainty, and the rise of AI FUTURE VISION 2025 will explore how creativity and strategic collaboration can guide the industry forward.
This year's theme, Optimism, builds upon last year's focus on Courage, inviting attendees to reimagine what's possible in this rapidly evolving media landscape.
Papandrea and Ayres said, We are so enormously thrilled to have three of our television heroes coming to FUTURE VISION this year. Richard Gadd, Sally Wainwright, and Soo Hugh are undoubtedly some of the most exciting television creators in the world today. They create unforgettable worlds and characters that explode onto our screens, and they are masters of their craft. We cannot wait to engage with them in Melbourne and bring their thinking and provocation to the thought leaders at home.
Richard Gadd said, Events like FUTURE VISION are very important. They bring together people who care about pushing boundaries, taking risks, and telling stories that mean something.
Sally Wainwright said, I m delighted to have been asked to take part in FUTURE VISION and am looking forward hugely to talking telly with everyone. One of my absolute favourite shows of recent years was Deadloch. I loved it because it was as absurd as it was dark, which for me is always a winning combination. I m thrilled to be able to visit where it was shot.
Soo Hugh said, Throughout my career, I've been lucky to learn from extraordinary storytellers who taught me the power of vision and reminded me how deeply personal stories can resonate globally. I'm excited to attend FUTURE VISION to listen, exchange ideas, and be inspired by voices that see the world a little differently.
FUTURE VISION will once again bring together drama and narrative comedy creators, writers, producers, commissioners, and development executives from Australia and across the globe for three days of cutting-edge conversation and strategic thinking:
Monday, July 14 OPEN DAY: A day open to established creatives, industry stakeholders, and curious minds. Also available via livestream for those who cannot make it to Melbourne.
July 15 16 INVITE-ONLY SESSIONS: Programming for top-tier writers, directors, producers, and commissioning executives.
From keynote conversations to insightful case studies, FUTURE VISION offers an unprecedented opportunity for the industry to come together, think big, and shape the future of television.
Screen Australia COO Grainne Brunsdon says: Screen Australia is proud to be supporting FUTURE VISION once again. With Richard Gadd, Sally Wainwright and Soo Hugh to headline, the 2025 offering will be valuable for our Australian screen sector to come together and learn from key industry players on how we can continue to launch our stories onto a global stage. Considering our local industry is already one of innovation, strong community and resilience, we have good reason to get behind the event's theme of Optimism.
Victorian Minister for Creative Industries Colin Brooks says, Victoria's screen industry has a strong track record of creating high-end television that captivates audiences across the globe. We re proud to support the return of FUTURE VISION to Melbourne for another year. This event connects Australia s leading screen storytellers with the creators of some the world s most watched TV series. From global sensation Apple Cider Vinegar to forthcoming new series The Survivors, Victoria continues to be a global screen powerhouse."
Australians in Film Executive Director Peter Ritchie says; There are real opportunities for the Australian screen sector globally, and we are so enormously grateful to our headline international guests, our co-Chairs, Screen Australia and VicScreen, all our industry partners, attendees and guests who are coming together so generously to prioritize a strategic approach to the ways we commission, develop and execute our Australian screen stories for international audiences.
