Five days devoted to the screen
AACTA Festival confirms its return to HOTA, Home of the Arts, from 3 to 7 February 2027. The festival combines screen culture and industry events, with the detailed 2027 program still being announced. Use the official festival website when choosing sessions and checking ticket or registration requirements. Images of previous guests and past programs should not be treated as confirmation of the 2027 lineup.
Stay for the sessions that interest you
Before booking flights, decide whether your visit centres on the industry program, public sessions or an awards event for which you hold a ticket. Check each event's venue and arrival instructions. A hotel in central Gold Coast can be a base for a broader stay, but include the journey to HOTA when planning your day. Leave time for check-in and a change after flying.
Give each journey its own arrival time
For a GGCLT transfer enquiry, provide your airport, flight number, full hotel address and passenger and luggage details. For a festival journey, add the session venue and the time you need to arrive. Confirm collection arrangements before the evening begins, particularly if you have more than one event booked. Transport does not include festival admission or access to invitation-only functions.
