Join us after the screening for a panel discussion about the future of the Australian film industry.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the Australian film industry but were too busy watching Hollywood blockbusters to ask.
Canberra filmmaker Andrew Scarano digs deep into the thorny topic of the Australian film industry, interviewing top filmmakers, distributors and policy makers to discover the past, present and future of Australian cinema. With insights from people as diverse as Bruce Beresford, Phillip Adams, George Miller and Brendan Cowell the film uncovers the gatekeepers and those mavericks trying to get things done another way.
Director’s Statement “From afar the industry appears glitzy and glamorous, but away from the bright lights and photographers, we discovered an awful truth: Australian cinema is becoming irrelevant. But ultimately we made the film to bring all of the complex dimensions of Australian cinema together and ask ‘how do we want Australian cinema to evolve?’” Andrew Scarano
