Tourism and Events Queensland has publically divorced the Asia-Pacific Screen Awards. Can APSA survive this rejection?

The Australia Pacific Screen Awards were started six years ago, under the control of Events Queensland, to honour the best films of a vast region which extends from the Middle East to New Zealand, and covers India, China and South-East Asia.
