From attracting international screen engagement and strengthening industry-to-industry connections, to talent exchange, education, cultural diplomacy and showcasing Western Australia to Indian audiences, WAIFC has been established with a long-term ambition: to create a stronger and more internationally connected Western Australian screen ecosystem.

The morning will culminate in a symbolic “Action!” moment, bringing together our distinguished guests to officially launch WAIFC and signal the beginning of this next chapter in Western Australia–India screen collaboration.

We warmly invite Members of Parliament, diplomatic representatives, screen and creative industry leaders, cultural institutions, corporate and education leaders, and WAIFC’s founding partners and stakeholders to join us for this inaugural occasion.
