The Australian Screen Production Education and Research Association (ASPERA) 2021 annual Conference was held at the NUspace at the University of Newcastle, Australia, between 16 and 18 June 2021.
This in-person event was rescheduled in 2021 from 2020 due to restrictions in relation to COVID-19. The key aim of the conference was to encourage a fresh look at the value of the screen business – also known as ‘The Biz’ – from a range of perspectives, and to explore how our research, our practice and our teaching contribute to the broader value of the Screen Industry. Keynote presentations from industry added to the depth and currency of these explorations.
