Shaping Our Documentaries

How do broadcasters, funders and distributors shape Australia's documentary output?

Commissioning editors from SBS, ABC and Film Australia, distributors and representatives from funding bodies discuss:

  • their visions of what documentaries should be made
  • how they contribute to what gets made
  • where documentary is heading
  • theatrical exhibition or television?
  • series or singles?
  • strategies for success

    Documentary filmmakers and teachers Gillian Leahy and Pat Fiske will moderate the session.

    Panelists include:
    Dasha Ross, ABC TV
    Chris Kiely, Owner Valhalla Cinema
    Susan MacKinnon, Australian Film Finance Corporation
    Julia Overton, Australian Film Commission
    Penny Robins, Film Australia
