The theatrical success of 'Barbie', 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' and 'Oppenheimer' helped propel the Australian box office to its best year since the pandemic in 2023, though it still trailed pre-2019 levels.
Rather than focusing on how the theatrical marketplace best get back to where it was in 2019, next week's AIMC will instead consider the future - and how those numbers could be eclipsed. What could cinema look like? Where do new opportunities lie, and how can exhibitors capitalise on them? How can the whole of industry better collaborate?
The COVID experience and deeper aspects of the human condition are among the themes explored by the nominees for this year's Byron Bay Film Festival Young Australian Filmmaker of the Year award.
The Australian Feature Film Forum (AFFF) will host a suite of sessions across November 1-2 as part of a partnership with the Australian International Movie Convention (AIMC).

The Australian International Movie Convention is set to return its pre-pandemic home at The Star, Gold Coast this October, and this year aims to put a spotlight on the talents of local industry.
Cameron Mitchell has taken over as executive director of the National Association of Cinema Operators, replacing Michael Hawkins.
