Acclaimed Australian writer-director Ana Kokkinos draws on her extensive experience across both film and television to answer your burning questions about filmmaking.

In this interactive filmmaker masterclass, Ana will share her in-depth knowledge from a decades-spanning career that’s included award-winning films like Only the Brave (1994), Head On (1999) and Blessed (2009), as well as television shows like Seven Types of Ambiguity (2017), The Hunting (2019) and Ten Pound Poms (2023). With a primary focus on the directing process, she’ll be guided by attendee’s questions to explore everything from the differences (and similarities) of working across both mediums, the vital work of directing actors, to how an understanding of direction can improve one’s screenwriting.

While some questions will be taken on the day, we encourage you to submit them beforehand below when booking your tickets (submissions close Sunday 16 February).

This event is part of the Queer Screen Pride in Film: Industry Development Series, supported by Screen NSW.
