The University of Canberra proudly presents…

Filmmaker Masterclass Program

A unique opportunity for students, budding filmmakers and Canberra cinephiles to meet with Australian film industry professionals.

These world-class writers, directors and producers will share their insights, experience and advice in the Dendy’s intimate Premium Lounge Cinema.

Workshops:

Producing a low budget film – the intimate documentary

SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2–3 PM

One of Australia’s finest jazz vocalists, Emma Franz decided to write, direct, film and produce a documentary about jazz drummer Simon Barker and his search for a spiritual and drumming master in Korea. The result – INTANGIBLE ASSET NO. 82 is an extraordinary award-winning doco (screening the same evening as this masterclass) – and Emma will share her journey of bringing it to the screen.

Producing a big budget film – the multimillion dollar international co-production

SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER 3.30–4.30 PM

Join Monica Penders for a look back at her first feature THE SECRET OF MOONACRE, a US$27 million children’s fantasy film that took 10 years to get to the screen. Monica will regale you with stories of 5 legged horses, recalcitrant hawks, vegan actresses and how to cope with the Hungarian “nem” – in this sometimes funny, often scary look at the wonderful world of independent film making.

Research and the Director

SATURDAY 7 NOVEMBER 2–3 PM

Australian director Robert Connolly (BALIBO, THE BANK, THREE DOLLARS) and his military researcher on BALIBO, Dr. Clinton Fernandes, share the insights of their working process and explain how detailed research into guns, clothes, colonels and conflict finds its way onto the big screen

This session will be moderated by Jason Di Rosso – presenter of ABC Radio National’s MovieTime.

In association with the ACT Writers Centre, screenwriter Felicity Packard (UNDERBELLY, SEA PATROL, G.P.) talks about the challenges of writing from the real life of crime and shares insights from her research process for the critically acclaimed and multiple AFI Award-winning series UNDERBELLY.
