These unmissable sessions are profiling some of the leading voices of the global screen industry as SXSW Sydney shines as a leading city for nurturing creative talent. Previously announced featured speakers in the screen industry have included; Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker and Australian screen legend Leah Purcell and Hollywood Producer Bruna Papandrea, alongside innovators in other forward-looking industries including Chance The Rapper, AI expert Amy Webb and Slack Co-Founder Cal Henderson.

These new sessions bring an incredibly unique opportunity for attendees to hear from leading international screen talent up close and personal, and support our industry professionals to achieve their goals. Afterall, this is what SXSW is all about, and we're delighted that we can play a role in this internationally renowned event.
Emma Cooper, Chair of Australians in Film said, Over the past 20 years, AiF has created a unique and supportive community of Australian screen talent in Los Angeles, from emerging actors and filmmakers through to our most revered screen icons. We are excited to have this opportunity to bring the spirit and energy of AiF and our Hollywood community to SXSW Sydney, together with our partner Screen Australia.
Colin Daniels, Managing Director of SXSW Sydney said, From the team at SXSW Sydney, I'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Australians in Film and Screen Australia for their ongoing support. We appreciate the time everyone is taking to travel and join us in our first year our story will be about these visionaries, and about the diverse and compelling voices emerging alongside them.
