The Australian Writers' Guild, Australian Directors' Guild, Chauvel Cinema and Fund The Arts presents: Is Australian film and TV kaput? A panel on telling Australian stories in the age of streaming.
With youth theatre being defunded, only 2% Australian content on streaming services like Netflix, broadcasters parking Australian content in nowhere land, and the government failing to finance Australian created content, what is the future of Australian stories?
Can we be a cultural exporter, like South Korea, rather than a dumping ground? Panelists Samantha Lang (director, writer and producer), John Collee (screenwriter and creative director), Claire Pullen (Australian Writers' Guild Executive Director), Sam Meikle (screenwriter and director) and Professor David Throsby discuss.
Where: Chauvel Cinema, 249 Oxford Street, Paddington NSW 2021
When: Thursday 12 May 2022, at 6.30pm
Registration: Free, but booking is essential. Places are limited so get in quick!
