This year the event will be held at the FOXTEL Television Centre in North Ryde on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th October, 2009. Over ten inspiring years, SPAA Fringe continues to educate, inspire and connect by providing a unique opportunity for the emerging sector to network with like-minded, content creators.

SPAA Fringe is an interactive two-day seminar for serious filmmakers who are interested in building their community and career within the Australian screen industry. The event is comprised of workshops, roundtables, one-on-one sessions, panel discussions, film screenings and social networking events.
“SPAA Fringe is where filmmakers gain insight, knowledge and all important contacts. Foxtel, with its impressive purpose-built facilities, is the ideal location to fulfill these objectives. This year, Fringe will be highly interactive and practical.”
