Film

Film, television and entertainment is the Gold Coast’s largest 'creative industry' sector and pioneered international film production in Australia since the late 1980s and continues strongly today.

The film industry on the Gold Coast accounts for more than 75 per cent of Queensland's total value of film, television and drama production (according to the 2005 report Film Gold Coast - An Economic Impact Study of Gold Coast City's Film Industry).

Council's Creative Juices program provides networking and professional development opportunities for emerging and established film-makers.

The Gold Coast is well-served with multiplex cinemas, but for those who like something a little different, the Gold Coast Arts Centre has a regular program of art house and foreign films.
