Abstract
This book is primarily a historical study. It must conclude while film festivals continue to develop within Australia and beyond. This brief final chapter looks to the accomplishments of Australian Film Festivals: Audience, Place and Exhibition Culture while also looking towards those questions that lie beyond the scope of the book. As an ending, it eulogises the conclusion of certain key elements of Australia’s regional festival experience. Yet in doing so it also points to the continuation of the Australian festival experience in new forms and points to the changes now occurring, particularly in relation to the growth of digital technology, which clearly speaks of a new phase in film festival evolution that stands just around the temporal corner.
