Once again our daily lunchtime program offers a mix of Australia and world premieres, in both short and long form, as well as special guest speakers such as filmmakers Klaus Toft and Geoff Burchfield.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of ABC Natural History, ABC Science, the BBC, Discover Channel, Film Australia, Hopscotch Films and the National Geographic Channel, and independent filmmakers from Japan, Zimbabwe and the US.

We also recognise the important contributions of our sponsors and supporters, who with their practical contributions, have helped realise the dream of making innovative world science accessible to everyone.

So grab a seat and let us take you on a journey into the brave, new, curious world where innovative global science meets world-class cinema.
