Christos Tsiolkas will be joined by producer Tony Ayres to discuss their upcoming TV adaptation of Tsiolkas' novel Barracuda, and Eva Orner will participate in a Q&A via satellite with human rights advocate Julian Burnside after a screening of her documentary Chasing Asylum.
The team from The Family Law will participate in a Q&A, as will the makers of Logie-winning teen drama Ready for This.

Organiser Kate McCarthy Ficai called the summit a "unique opportunity to hear directly from our industry and to really dive in to the insights and questions our speakers pose as we navigate our way through our collective future. Screen Futures is for anyone working in the education and media sectors as well as general screen enthusiasts of all ages."
The Youth Media Festival, for young filmmakers and students, will run concurrently on Saturday 2nd July 2016.
