In Melbourne, the screening coincides with CyberCon, where former CISA Director Jen Easterly is scheduled to deliver opening remarks.

Semperis Expands Global Screening Tour for Cyberwar Documentary
Semperis has expanded the international screening tour for Midnight in the War Room, a feature-length documentary exploring the front lines of cyber warfare. Following a successful debut at Black Hat USA 2026, the film is traveling to major industry events in Melbourne and Austin to engage cybersecurity professionals directly.

Following the Australian engagement, the tour moves to Austin for CyberMarketingCon on November 17. The film draws on over 100 hours of interviews with notable figures including General (Ret.) David Petraeus, former CIA Director, and Marcus Hutchins. By documenting the experiences of those protecting critical infrastructure—from power grids to healthcare networks—Semperis aims to provide a definitive account of the cyber resilience landscape. The production, which has already visited cities ranging from London to Singapore, continues to roll out a global schedule through November.
