Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Leadership Jack Christian joined the board of the Australian Film Institute (AFI) in 2020. The AFI governs the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA), an organization established in 2011 to honor excellence in film, television, and screen arts through its annual awards. Christian became chairman on November 20, 2023. He assumed a pivotal role in steering AACTA's mission to promote Australia screen storytelling worldwide. In a statement on his appointment, he said, “I am profoundly honoured and humbled to take on the role of Chairperson for the AFI AACTA. This Academy represents the pinnacle of cinematic and television artistry in Australia, and it's a privilege to be given an opportunity to shape its direction and future.”

Under his leadership, the AACTA Awards relocated to the Gold Coast, Australia in 2024, hosted by Rebel Wilson, and continued in 2025 with Russell Crowe, AACTA President since 2020, as host. Christian also spearheaded the expansion of the AACTA Festival, a public event launched in 2024 alongside the awards.
