Screenwriting Research Network Conference & Sightlines

Activity: Conferences and workshopsContribution or participation in a conference

Description

Since 2006 the Screenwriting Research Network has hosted an annual conference to explore innovative approaches and exciting research into the history, theory, practice and teaching of screenwriting. This conference has travelled the world. Meanwhile, since 2014, Sightlines: Filmmaking in the Academy, a symposium/festival, has provided a forum to showcase and discuss screen-based ‘non-traditional’ research outputs. In 2025 we bring these two important communities and events together to explore crossovers and connections between theory, practice and education.

In this conference-festival we embrace a range of submissions that reflect the outputs of scholars, reflective practitioners, and creative-practice researchers interested in screenwriting and screen production research and showcase the full range of screenwriting and screen production that occurs within and between the higher education sector and industry, and across a breadth of platforms and methodologies.

Sightlines is hosted by the Creative People, Products and Places Research Centre (CP3) and the Australian Screen Production, Education and Research Association (ASPERA).
