The program is calling for Media Arts & FTVNM students aged 14 – 16 (Year 9-11) to apply to be a member of the Asia Pacific Young Audience Award Jury to decide the winner of the 2022 Asia Pacific Young Audience Award. Three films will be presented in a non-commercial closed jury screening on Saturday 10 September, 8.30am – 6pm at Griffith Film School, South Brisbane and in Gympie (venue TBC).
Details on the film selection, winner announcement and other opportunities to engage with fellow jurors and the filmmakers via Q&As will be provided late August.
