We first speak with director/writer of Inside Charles Williams here, a remarkable film starring Cosmo Jarvis, Guy Pearce & Vincent Miller. In cinemas from 27th February. Facebook InstagramWe follow with a word from Devina McPherson here, the co-facilitator of the AIDC 2025 Indigenous Creators Program.
With her debut feature documentary film Queens of Concrete, Eliza Cox takes audiences on a seven year journey with three skateboarders: Ava Godfrey, Charlotte Heath, and Hayley Wilson. They each embrace a different style of skateboarding, with street and park being the two styles that are featured at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. It's that 2020 Olympics that the girls have their sights set on, with Eliza following their journey from the skateparks of Melbourne to the sponsored events in London and LA, to boarding schools dedicated to bringing up the next generation of skaters.There's an inherent drama to skateboarding - you never know if the skater is going to fall, what they're going to pull off, and how they're going to take a risky jump - and that's paired well with the inherent drama of being a teenager turning into an adult. Or, in the case of Charlotte, a kid turning into a teenager. Each of the girls has their own life journey to follow, and Eliza's dedicated observational lens follows them in a caring and considered manner. This is not a director simply documenting the lives of their subjects, but supporting their journey in an empathetic manner.Queens of Concrete moves in the same vein as the great skating docos of the turn of the millennium, with Eliza noting the impact that Dogtown and Z-Boys had on her work. As a viewer, I couldn't help but feel the pull of Eddie Martin's excellent All This Mayhem, a film which also hails from the streets of Melbourne. Either way, the impact of sports documentaries is a strong one on Eliza's creative vision.I caught up with Eliza ahead of the AIDC panel Levelling the Playing Field: Celebrating Trailblazers in Sports Docs, where she joins fellow documentarians Frances Elliott, who co-directed Renee Gracie: Fireproof, and Marlee Silva, of the upcoming film Skin in the Game. In the following interview, we talk about her journey into filmmaking, what it means to be a supportive director, the choice behind making a sports film about girls or a film about girls who skate, and a lot more.If you're in Naarm-Melbourne this weekend, then make yourself known and head along to ACMI on Monday 3 March where you can catch Levelling the Playing Field, alongside a stack more great panels and events at the Australian International Documentary Conference.

Nainita Desai is an award-winning composer whose work has spanned creative formats, from documentaries like The Reason I Jump where she won an Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition, to TV series like Funny Women, to video games like Telling Lies and Immortality. With over 150 credits to her name, Nainita is nothing short of prolific.In the following interview, Nainita talks about her journey into becoming a composer and how Peter Gabriel impacted her career. While we don't touch on her education in mathematics, it plays a vital role in her career as a composer, guiding her interest in sound design as well as composition. From here, our discussion leads into talking about the role of nature in her work, as heard in films like The Deepest Breath, and the 2024 Sundance award-winning film Nocturnes. In both of these films, the role of the ocean and the mountains is as important as the world of the people we are following, and Nainita talks about the way that she reflects those characters journeys in her compositions.Equally important is the role that silence plays in her work. Nainita talks about the role that silence plays as the unspoken instrument for a composer, and how important it is to relinquish the score to amplify the drama of a scene. As a flow on of this discussion point, Nainita talks about the difficulty of knowing that not all aspects of her score will end up in the final film.This wonderfully insightful conversation flows between creativity and personal journeys, with Nainita giving us an in depth look at the mind of a composer. This conversation was recorded ahead of Nainita's upcoming appearance at the Australian International Documentary Conference, which opens in Melbourne on 3 March 2024. Nainita will be presenting a discussion called The Art of Composing for Documentary with Nainita Desai, alongside moderator Emma Bortignon. As we close out this interview, I asked Nainita about the importance of being accessible for interviews and panel discussions, which leads Nainita to reflect on the role of being a mentor for emerging composers, particularly women composers. To find out more about AIDC, visit AIDC.com.au.If you enjoy this discussion, I urge you to seek out other interviews with Nainita as they have regularly been in depth and valuable insights into her art as a composer.

RFID adoption is rapidly increasing, but traditional AIDC barcode VARs may still be uncertain if they want to add the technology to their portfolio. This week, TSC Printronix's RFID expert, Chris Brown, acknowledges the complexity of RFID solutions alongside the potential for your business. He presents what he sees as four clear options for barcoding VARs to take on (or not) RFID, followed by a look at mandates pushing the technology down the supply chain. What's the "Walmart blast off?" What other industries are primed for RFID? How does the "tush push" fit into this conversation? #VARValue - Thinking about the process for implementing RFID, how does TSC help VARs get an opportunity over the finish line?

I've discussed the importance of finding a niche audience and serving that audience with your films and content in my book Rise of the Filmtrepreneur. Today on the show a filmmaker has done just that. We have Australian filmmaker and Filmtrepreneur, Torsten Hoffmann. His niche audience is people interested in crypto, blockchain, and NFTs.Torsten's interest in cryptocurrencies dates back to a paper on Alternative Currencies he wrote while doing his MBA.By 2013, Bitcoin piqued his interest and soon after materialized into his 2015 directorial debut documentary, Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It. The documentary is a concise and informative crash course about Money and Crypto Currencies.The success of his first film documentary slanged Torsten into high-profile speaking engagements at MIPTV & MIPCOM, AIDC, and Medientage, to speak on blockchain-related trends.Last year, he produced and directed a subsequent documentary, Cryptopia: Bitcoin, Blockchains and the Future of the Internet.Basically, he revisits Bitcoin and sets out to explore the evolution of the blockchain industry and its new promise. It asks the fundamental question; Can this technology, designed to operate independent of trust and within a decentralized network, really provide a robust alternative to the Internet as we know it?This film has since gone on to be one of the most consumed pieces of content in his niche. From the way, he marketed the film to the title Torsten used the Filmtrepreneur Method in every aspect of making the film.He has also launched numerous entrepreneurial ventures to support independent content creators with his passion for media and technology. If it's one person who can break down the sometimes intimidating ideas of blockchain, Hoffmann is the man. We also do a deep dive in NFTs as well. So, enjoy this unofficial third-part episode on NFT with Torsten Hoffmann.
The Automotive Industry Development Centre Eastern Cape (AIDC-EC) has entered into partnerships with the Automotive Component Manufacturing Association of India (ACMA) and the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA). In terms of the agreements JICA and ACMA will assist the AIDC-EC to roll out technical training programmes to automotive component suppliers in the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape automotive sector is responsible for 38% of South Africa's total vehicle production and 50% of the country's auto exports. AIDC Eastern Cape CEO Thabo Shenxane says that one of the goals of the partnerships is to embed a culture of Kaizen into the supply chain. Kaizen is a global management method that drives quality and productivity improvement (QPI). “Kaizen will bring measurable competitive improvement outcomes that will capacitate suppliers to access new markets, attain international benchmarks and develop new opportunities,” explains Shenxane. “The development of Tier 2 to Tier 4 suppliers will make a major impact on South African Automotive Masterplan 2035 objectives, which targets an increase of 20% of locally produced components in vehicles made in the country.” Empirical results from JICA on Kaizen programmes at eight Tier 1 South African manufacturers between 2016 and 2019 showed that productivity more than doubled; on-time delivery improved from 73% to 95%; overtime work dropped on average from 13.8 hours a week to 4.6 hours a week; and lead times, on average, improved by 40%. “The results clearly justify scaling up of Kaizen in the automotive manufacturing sector,” says Shenxane. “And, like JICA, we believe that South Africa can compete with India and Thailand's automotive component industries – but we must have a vision and plan for this.” As a key activity of the partnership, the AIDC-EC and JICA are introducing a QPI Kaizen programme to Tier 2 and 3 automotive suppliers across the country's major auto manufacturing hubs. “We have started the process to work with 120 Tier 2 and 3 component suppliers over the next three years,” notes Shenxane. Additional training will also be implemented in terms of the AIDC-EC's partnership with ACMA, aimed at addressing knowledge gaps and low competence through continuous skills transfer. ACMA In terms of the AIDC-EC's partnership with ACMA, highly structured cross-functional skills development and training programmes; blended physical training; cross-countries knowledge exchange; simulation techniques; and shopfloor project implementation will be included in training programmes for the Eastern Cape supply chain, says Shenxane. “It has been noted that suppliers of all sizes have realised the effectiveness of blended learning approaches, where employees have the opportunity of engaging in both hands-on and virtual-based learning. “This provides unique opportunities for training, and will enhance networking and automotive-related activity between India, Japan and South Africa.” Toyota Wessels Institute for Manufacturing Studies director Dr Justin Barnes underlines the importance of nurturing the manufacturing sector in South Africa. According to Barnes, manufacturing value added per capita barely grew in the 30 years between 1990 and 2019. Manufacturing contributed 12% of South Africa's economy in 2019, 17% in 2000 and 21% in 1990. Moreover, Barnes says South Africa's manufacturing sector employed more people in 1969 than it does today. “If we had kept manufacturing at 1990 levels we would have employed over a million people more. “The sector is shedding jobs and becoming more capital intensive at a time of an employment crisis. To achieve a high-income society, the driving force is manufacturing productivity and good jobs, whereas the economy is now welfare dependent.” Barnes notes that the local auto industry has performed better than the manufacturing sector at large, increasing vehicle production from 376 000 units in 1995, to 632 000 in 2019, but adds that the “dark cloud” is t...
The development of a regional five-year masterplan to nurture the engineering skills needed to support manufacturing in South Africa as the automotive industry transitions to future mobility, including electric vehicles (EVs), has started, says the Automotive Industry Development Centre Eastern Cape (AIDC EC). Shaped by policy makers, educational institutions, skills development practitioners and automotive industry role-players, and led by the AIDC EC, the masterplan framework identifies the key elements of a common, integrated engineering offering from high school to the institutions of higher learning in the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape houses several vehicle manufacturers, including Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Isuzu, Ford and FAW, and contributes 38% of South Africa's total vehicle production and 50% of its exports. “It is essential that we work closely with our manufacturers so that the projected employment opportunities presented by a reshaped value-chain for new-energy vehicles are exploited by locally skilled candidates,” says AIDC EC CEO Thabo Shenxane. The province needs to “refine its budgeting and focus, among other priorities, on an integrated engineering skills masterplan with urgency”. National Association of Automotive Component and Allied Manufacturers (Naacam) knowledge services project manager Beth Dealtry says Naacam's vision for the masterplan will be to ensure that a lack of skills is not a barrier to transformation, localisation and inclusion in the next five years. “In the context of an anticipated global shortage of skills around new energy vehicles, the masterplan will play a critical role in growing and transforming South Africa's automotive sector.” Shenxane says a number of immediate projects will be implemented in the Eastern Cape as part of the development of the masterplan. These are the drafting of a schedule of EV training courses to be offered to automotive role-players and students; the inclusion of e-mobility in the engineering curricula at both higher educational institutions and technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges in the province; talking to vehicle manufacturers about donations to TVET colleges of equipment that is required by these institutions as they deliver their curricula to students; and the upskilling of existing lecturers, both at universities and TVET colleges. “The transition in vehicle technology to e-mobility requires a revolution in automotive manufacturing, aftermarket and support processes, and that, in turn, demands a different skills-set,” explains Shenxane. “Without those skills South Africa's automotive manufacturing sector will be severely threatened, along with the Eastern Cape economy.” Naamsa | The Automotive Business Council transformation and public policy executive Tshetlhe Litheko says the rise of electric and new energy vehicles has forced the automotive sector to rethink its approach to production. Naamsa expects that 40% of all European vehicle sales will be EVs by 2030, which could cost the South African automotive industry billions in export earnings a year should it not transition to EV manufacturing in time. No battery electric vehicles are currently produced in South Africa.

The Automotive Industry Development Centre Eastern Cape (AIDC EC) has partnered with the Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to roll out a Kaizen implementation programme aimed at improving the competitiveness of component suppliers within the province's automotive industry. Kaizen is a Japanese business philosophy that focuses on gradually improving productivity by involving all employees and by making the work environment more efficient. It focuses on quality and productivity improvement (QPI). The aim is to capacitate suppliers to access new markets, attain international benchmarks and develop new business opportunities. AIDC EC CEO Thabo Shenxane says the Eastern Cape accounts for about half of South Africa's light vehicle exports, and 43% of the country's light vehicle production. The Eastern Cape also serves as the base for 42% of the National Association of Automotive Component and Allied Manufacturers' directory of suppliers, and four of the country's big vehicle manufacturers, namely Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Isuzu and Ford. “We have great confidence that a Kaizen culture will have a profound impact on the future of automotive manufacturing in South Africa,” notes Shenxane. Empirical results from Kaizen programmes at eight Tier 1 South African [component] manufacturers between 2016 and 2019, show that production more than doubled and that on-time delivery improved from 73% to 95%. Overtime work, on average, also dropped from 13.8 hours a week to 4.6 hours a week, while lead times, on average, improved by 40%. “The results clearly justify scaling up of the Kaizen philosophy in the automotive manufacturing sector,” says Shenxane. “And, like JICA, we believe that South Africa can compete with India and Thailand's automotive component industries, but we must agree on a common vision and plan for this to happen in our province.” Shenxane says the AIDC EC will work closely with a range of stakeholders to implement the Kaizen rollout, including JICA, Toyota Wessels Institute for Manufacturing Studies (TWIMS), AIDC Gauteng, Naacam, naamsa | The Automotive Business Council, and the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition. “The idea is to reach out to at least 120 Tier 2 and 3 component suppliers, over the next three years, in the Eastern Cape,” he notes. SA Needs More Manufacturing TWIMS executive director Dr Justin Barnes says fresh input is required to remedy the poor performance of South Africa's manufacturing industry. He says manufacturing dropped to 12% of South Africa's economy in 2019, down from 17% in 2000 and 21% in 1990. He adds that South Africa's manufacturing sector employed more people in 1969 than it does today. “If we had kept manufacturing at 1990 levels we would have employed over a million people more.' “The sector is shedding jobs and becoming more capital intensive at a time of employment crisis. “To achieve a high-income society, the driving force is manufacturing productivity and good jobs, whereas the economy is now welfare dependent.” Barnes notes that the domestic auto industry has performed better than the manufacturing sector at large, increasing vehicle production from 376 000 units in 1995, to 632 000 in 2019, but that the “dark cloud is that local content has dropped”.

Fare in modo che le imprese possano disporre della possibilità di finanziamento, da parte di investitori privati, anche tramite piattaforme di raccolta online. La proposta è venuta dal presidente dell' Aidc (Associazione italiana dottori commercialisti) Andrea Ferrari, nel corso del IX meeting nazionale del sindacato, tenutosi a Roma. Si tratterebbe, spiega una nota, di modalità che porterebbero benefici ad entrambe le parti: le imprese potrebbero, infatti, contare del supporto economico di investitori privati, mentre i risparmiatori avrebbero l'occasione di rendere produttivo il risparmio, oggi messo a rischio dall'andamento dell'inflazione. A tutelare il risparmiatore, Ferrari vede la figura del commercialista che, presidiando il portale, potrebbe attestare la solidità delle imprese che richiedono l'ammissione al sistema, limitando così il rischio dell'investimento. In base alle elaborazioni dell'Aidc, i depositi nelle casse delle banche ammontano ormai alla cifra record di 2.000 miliardi, vale a dire una media di 30.000 euro a risparmiatore, mentre l'andamento dei prezzi rende sempre più concreto il rischio che l'inflazione possa erodere i capitali. ______________________________________ Ascolta “Economy News”, la rubrica semplificata di informazione economica in onda tutti i giorni su Giornale Radio.

Dominic Brown will discuss the strategies being proposed by popular movements in the Global South to confront their debt. He will reflect on current movements and their demands from a historical perspective with a focus on South Africa – his home country. Brown will demonstrate how debt issuance in the Global South is often used to implement neoliberal and austerity policies, and discuss how this tendency can be stopped from the bottom up. Is there a perspective for collective opposition from the side of ‘Southern' countries towards the new debt crisis that is looming now that the pandemic is locking down economies? To what extent do the current campaigns build on the former ones? What lessons can be drawn from the Jubilee 2000 Debt Cancellation Campaign? How does the issue of debt connect to other issues, such as inequality and poverty? And how does debt unite different social struggles? Which theory of change underlies all these movements that fight for global justice and redistribute change? Dominic Brown is Economic Justice Programme Manager at the Alternative Information & Development Centre (AIDC). AIDC was formed in 1996 in response to the democratic transition in South Africa and the new opportunities and challenges it brought those seeking greater social justice within the democracy. Over the years AIDC has played a leading role in various civil society responses to ongoing inequality including facilitating the launch and building of the South African Jubilee 2000 debt cancellation campaign, and the Right to Work Campaign. --- About Crash Course Economics Crash Course is a platform designed to open up debate on how we can move out of the current crisis and make the necessary steps towards achieving social, economic, ecological and regenerative justice.

Local companies have made bids to produce 25% of the automotive parts listed in the Automotive Industry Development Centre Eastern Cape’s (AIDC EC’s), Localisation Supermarket. The Localisation Supermarket is both a physical showcase and online catalogue of automotive components that are currently imported, and for which Tier 1 component suppliers are seeking local alternatives. Th project is an effort to expand the base of suppliers in the Eastern Cape automotive value chain, with a special focus on black-owned suppliers, and to strengthen the manufacturing base of the sector. Suppliers are able to view parts virtually, online and then express an interest on the platform, after which the AIDC engages with eligible suppliers through a request for qualification (RFQ) process. The AIDC EC initiated the project with the Eastern Cape Automotive Industry Forum. According to the centre, fifteen viable RFQs to supply a range of parts have been submitted to Tier 1 suppliers in the Eastern Cape since the launch of the supermarket last year. The South African Automotive Masterplan (SAAM) 2035 has set a target to increase the local parts content on locally produced vehicles from 39% to 60%, and to transform and deepen the automotive supply chain. Plans are in place to have a regular inflow of opportunities in the supermarket, says the AIDC EC. “The supermarket, among other projects, is equipping especially black suppliers with opportunities and partnerships, including access to funding agencies like the Eastern Cape Development Corporation and Industrial Development Corporation, that will enable them to more easily access the automotive supply chain, which has stringent quality and technical certification requirements,” adds the centre. "Many of the parts require a high level of technical expertise and successful suppliers need to comply with stringent international quality standards. We understand these real and valid barriers to entry and will work with qualifying suppliers to equip them to enter the supply chain, including access to finance.”

Is there a way to save Eskom, manage the climate crisis, protect jobs, and keep electricity a public service all at the same time? For a while now, an international coalition of trade unionists, researchers, and environmental groups under the banner of the Eskom Research Reference Group has been working on a research document that answers “Yes!” to all of the above. In anticipation of this document’s launch on the 23rd of July, Keamogetswe Seipato of the AIDC joined Sandra van Niekerk of the Reference Group for a conversation around some of the key elements of this research. #EskomTransformed: Achieving a Just Energy Transition for South Africa.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed like never before the perils of governments handing over our right to health and life to corporations. The privatisation of our health has made millions of people vulnerable to infectious diseases and undermined the integrated public systems needed to coordinate an effective response. This webinar brings healthcare experts together with activists at the forefront of struggles for equitable universal public healthcare from across the globe. Panelists speak about the changes that will be needed in terms of access to medicines, the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare systems, and the global governance of health. Organised by TNI and co-sponsored by AIDC, Focus on the Global South, Corporate Accountability International, People's Health Movement (PHM), Public Services International, Global Justice Now (GJN), RedLAM-Red Latinoamericana Acceso a Medicamentos, ABIA-Brazilian AIDS Interdisciplinary Association, and GTPI/Rebrip - Working Group on Intellectual Property. Panellists: • Susan George, President of the Transnational Institute and author of 'Shadow Sovereigns: How Global Corporations are Seizing Power' (2015). • Kajal Bhardwaj, health and human rights lawyer, India • Mark Heywood, Co-founder of Treatment Action Campaign, South Africa • Baba Aye, Health Office, Public Services International (PSI) • David Legge, People’s Health Movement representative
COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE Meet the producer and creative director at the heart of one of the world's most enduring and celebrated documentary collectives. For over 50 years, Gordon Quinn and Kartemquin Films have been at the forefront of documentary making in the US, not only embracing but also epitomising collaborative practices, championing new voices, and leading the way in the fight for independent media. All of these resonate with current discussions, both locally and globally around democracy and social justice, as well as AIDC 2020’s theme of collective intelligence. Join Gordon in conversation as he discusses the essential role of documentary in a fair and just society through some of his key works from Inquiring Nuns and Last Pullman Car to Hoop Dreams, The Trials of Muhammad Ali, Minding the Gap and 63Boycott. Talking through his 50-plus years of experience, Gordon will expand on how to sustain documentary making amidst constant assaults on truth, and finding new ways to regenerate the form and industry. He’ll also discuss the expanding role of the producer in nurturing new talent and promoting and enabling diverse voices to tap into hyper-local stories that also reverberate with global audiences. This session promises to be both thought-provoking and inspiring.
This discussion includes topics that some listeners may find confronting. Left to right: Nicole Precel, Katrina Marson, Rena Ou Yang and Greg Barns at the Wheeler Centre. The Invisible Crime: Are We Failing Victims of Sexual Violence? is an award-winning multimedia feature documentary made in 2019 by a team of investigative and data journalists from the Age and Sydney Morning Herald. The documentary explores why sexual assault is under-reported and examines the myriad barriers to successful prosecutions against assailants. It provides data-driven context on how and why the legal system so often fails to deliver justice to victims. In this conversation, hosted by Age journalist Nicole Precel, we pick up where the documentary left off, discussing the fundamental principles that underpin our criminal law. How are sexual-assault victims disadvantaged by the onus of proof? We also take a hard look at the concept of consent and examined how social attitudes towards it are changing. How do legal definitions of consent vary between states and territories – and how can we get better at teaching, and defining, consent in our everyday lives? Presented in partnership with AIDC and the Age, with special support from Google News Initiative.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Building a new Eskom: Fully Public and Serving the People with Daniel Chavez, Sean Sweeney and Brian Ashley The crisis at ESKOM must not be used to further liberalise and privatise the energy sector. The proposal to break-up ESKOM into different companies WILL lead to greater privatisation of the energy sector. Electricity will become more expensive and jobs will be lost. Another strategy is possible and necessary. A “New Eskom” is necessary. Eskom must remain publicly owned, but it must be radically transformed and the process of corporatization and marketization that began in the late 1980s must be reversed. AIDC together with NUMSA, NUM and other trade unions, supported by Trade Unions for Energy Democracy and Transnational Institute are developing proposals for addressing the crisis of ESKOM in ways that enhance energy democracy and a just transition to a low carbon development path. With inputs from Daniel Chavez (TNI), Sean Sweeney(TUED) and Brian Ashley (AIDC)

In an ever-changing media landscape, and with audiences savvy and cynical about advertising, brands are looking for more subtle ways to draw their customers in. Enter the documentary filmmaker. Does this offer an exciting new source of finance for documentary or is it a sell out? Is it still possible to make authentic stories within this form? Who has creative control in this environment? Why do brands give money to filmmakers and what do they want in return? This session brings together a world-class panel of award-winning filmmakers, producers and broadcasters to share their first-hand experiences making documentary content for brands and the mechanics of building successful partnerships to do so. They will explore how brand funded content works, why they do it, how it is different to working within traditional funding pathways, and what the deals look like. Between them, our panel has made everything from online content to television to feature films, financed by brands. They will share the realities, the pitfalls and the opportunities of this new financial option in our documentary producing toolbox.
How do we build stronger alliances and create impact campaigns that engage audiences on issues, to create lasting change? The phenomenal rise of documentary impact campaigns in recent years, following the success of Good Pitch Australia and the growing field of expertise, means we now have a global community of impact producers and a rich library of case studies to learn from. There is also a plethora of online tools and organisations offering expertise in delivering impact campaigns. So what have we learned and where are we going? What is the best impact approach for your project and budget? Through unpacking several environmental sustainability themed case studies, our panellists from very different corners of the industry demonstrate the wide variety of ways to achieve genuine social impact.
Robert Fernandez has been producing award-winning documentaries and commercials for over 25 years - yet he still loves getting his hands dirty on budget spreadsheets 'I love the numbers'. Working with Errol Morris since The Fog of War, Fernandez recently delivered their biggest project to-date: the Netflix series Wormwood. With no precedent for its hybrid format or production model, it took 1.5 years to develop and finance with Netflix, and 2.5 years to shoot. Fernandez is the master producer behind a master director, and the man that 'did the numbers' to produce the opus Wormwood, replete with a feature shoot's worth of drama and 10-camera interview setups.
Masterclass with the creative team behind podcast Trace Despite the global success of podcasts like Serial, the team behind Trace didn’t set out to emulate other popular true crime podcasts. Trace had a different ambition, chiefly to find justice and truth for the sons of Maria James, who was murdered nearly 38 years ago. In this masterclass, the journalist, producer and sound designer will break down how they created ABC’s first ‘true crime’ podcast; from distilling a 16 month investigation in to a story structure, creating a soundscape that would captivate listeners, maximising ABC’s cross platform reach to harness new leads, through to the team’s journalistic intent at the heart of the creative storytelling.
Editing Masterclass with Erin Casper In this exclusive masterclass, Erin will share her personal approach to editing by thinking about the construction of each film as a language of its own, spoken cinematically through an editor’s hands. Drawing on excerpts from her award-winning films such as Our School, American Promise, The Last Season and The New Black, this masterclass will explore her creative process, writing with images and crafting cinematic language in non-fiction films.
Fine Music Radio — It’s all been about the poor performance of our economy, slow growth, you name it. A week of painful introspection, no matter how Malusi Gigaba dresses up his words or indeed his person with designer suits and spectacles. There is a lot of talk, comment, on how the economy could be vamped up, efficiencies increased, corruption rooted out. There must be hope for a better deal in the future. What are politicians without hope? Most commentators say there’s nothing much that the Minister can offer, as we’re tied to the current model of the market, selling of minerals and a bit of agricultural produce – in short the same thing as before. But wait, say the alternative society protagonists – it’s time for a new socio-economic paradigm. Paradigm? One of those fashionable words that make you sound clever – it simply means model of how things work. Let’s change the paradigm of society and the economy says the A I D C, the Alternative Information and Development Centre. Since 2011 they’ve been working on this new paradigm, which will radically change the way we trade, the way we live. And I mean radically, as the AIDC thinking is unashamedly to the Left, or against the capitalist paradigm that we are firmly entrenched in. So what to do? Create a Million Climate Jobs! What do they mean, climate jobs? We’re coming to that. First though South Africa has to transition away from the Minerals-Energy complex that continues to dominate our capitalist economy, to a low-carbon economy in which the basic needs of communities are met in an equitable, sustainable and affordable way. There have been developments in the right direction since 2011, but the solutions are being pursued with the logic of the capital market. In these six years there have been many developments – for instance, renewable energy is now firmly established as part of the energy mix (although still a minor part); retrofitting buildings, and the development of environmentally friendly construction methods The Alternative Information and Development Centre
No network – commercial or otherwise – has fully escaped being the centre of some kind of public outrage and disgust over the last few years. But is audience provocation in the factual space really such a bad thing? In the competitive world of television, a parade of “ground-breaking social experiments” are just some of the ways that networks can make their mark. Adrian Swift (Head of Content Production and Development, Nine Network) is no stranger to contentious factual programming. From Married at First Sight’s charges of sneaky producers and “unreality tv” to The Briefcase’s “poverty porn”, he has navigated public outcry and heated debate on more than one occasion. In exclusive one-on-one conversation, Adrian Swift shares with Denise Eriksen his unorthodox approach to creating controversial shows, considering what works, what doesn’t, and how far is too far when trying to capture an audience.
At a time when fake news is said to have helped swing an election result, finding varied and reliable sources of information has never been more important. But with traditional broadcast platforms under siege from a slew of digital competitors expanding at a rate of knots, how do we ensure the integrity of storytelling in our post truth world? With social media posts and audience comment providing a constant feedback loop for the creation of their short form content, organisations like Buzzfeed can quickly rack up global audience numbers that most broadcasters and long form filmmakers can only dream about – think the Standing Rock Protest in the US - and they can also get their material out there far faster than long form filmmakers ever could. The traditionalists might argue that the short form model doesn’t provide for the context and rigorous examination that their subjects require. But are they doing themselves a disservice by ignoring what’s going on in the digital space and missing an opportunity to add vital weapons to their storytelling arsenal? In this session, Nicola Harvey (Managing Editor, Buzzfeed Australia) joins award-winning director Anna Broinowski (Pauline Hanson: Please Explain!) and journalist Matt Davis (Foreign Correspondent) to explore the connection between social media and the political documentary and discuss how important the viral video can be to short AND long form video journalism.
After the stunning success of Netflix’s Making a Murderer and HBO’s The Jinx, it seems that true crime is on the mind of every TV commissioning editor the world over. These two shows are just the tip of the iceberg of an amazing array of documentary, factual and unscripted programming that are drawing in big business and big bucks for producers and broadcasters alike. Internationally, unscripted series such as 60 Days In are capturing audiences in unprecedented numbers. Locally, the success of programs like Conviction (ABC) and Deep Water (SBS) reveal that local commissioners can explore Australia’s most unsettling crimes to great acclaim. The verdict is in: True Crime is hot, and we want more of it. So how can producers tap into this trend and make successful and engaging content? What are broadcasters looking for? And how can we keep the genre fresh and exciting while remaining respectful to the subjects and stories we seek to tell? True Crime All the Time will canvass all of these questions – and more.
Kids are living the content dream. As viewers, they demand content streamed direct to their personal devices wherever they are, whenever they want it. As creators they are prolific - shooting, editing and sharing films with friends and family from wherever they are, as often as they are allowed! So how is the kids domestic and international marketplace responding to this desire for watching and creating content? What opportunities are there for factual filmmakers to create and deliver content to a young audience that is increasingly streaming anytime, anywhere? ABC Children’s Commissioning Editor Libbie Doherty will provide an introductory snapshot of the ambitious, startling, challenging and authentic kids factual trending in the international landscape. Libbie will discuss the ABC’s commissioning wish-list and explain the parameters of working with ABC Children’s. Joining Libbie on the panel are Laura Waters and Karla Burt of Princess Productions, the producers of the ground-breaking format My Year 12 Life. They will discuss the ethics of working with children as content creators, and the key pointers for collaborating with teenagers and maximising their media skills.
When documentary and fiction collide, these films, and their creators, challenge conventions of how we tell, and how we respond to stories on screen. These are the films that grow between the cracks of narrative and documentary. They are not without their detractors, but increasingly, such innovative forms of filmmaking are opening up new platforms for filmmakers to exhibit their work and entice new audiences. In this session, ACMI’s Head of Film Programs, James Hewison, leads panelists in an intimate discussion, tracing this emerging form, and discuss ing their recent works that have embraced ambiguity and difference in the search for alternative forms of story-telling.
Filmmakers, their funders, sales agencies, PR firms, and festivals are all increasingly invested in knowing how exactly films can make social change - that is, "impact," for short. This is a unique moment as the sector is still in the early stages of defining itself, its terms, language, best practice, expectations and how it understands change and success. But how shall we measure impact, and who should do it? How can we make impact align with our goals, rather than having neoliberal and market values dominate? What do we do when projects don't have the impact we sought? Funders only want the good news, but the field only grows when we learn from experience. How do we leverage our short term gains to make long term change? When are our "impact media" projects over - when the film is done, when the change happens, or when our communities take over the movement? Our panelists, drawn from across the spectrum of this burgeoning field, tackle the tough questions and respond to yours, as we all try to make and be the difference we want to see.
The world is entering a new era with hacking, targeted use of social media and ‘fake news’ challenging our ideas of the role of media in a democracy, and many hard fought social justice gains coming under attack. In this context the role and responsibilities of media makers and technologists becomes critically important - particularly in challenging the emboldening of sexist and racist ideas. How as makers do we avoid perpetuating these divisive narratives by the way we build our projects or use platforms? How do we step up, build trust and ensure our process and our content encourages human connection and genuinely harnesses the potential of media impact for good? In this AIDC Impact strand keynote, filmmaker, technologist and creator of the Circle of 6 mobile app, Nancy Schwartzman will showcase creative approaches she has developed to challenge notions of neutrality in technology, and to use the power of story for good.
How local AR/VR producers can use the global market VR Plus Have you heard? By 2020, revenue from Augmented/Virtual Reality is forecast to reach $160 billion. Obviously there has never been a better time to get involved. But what does this mean for AR/VR documentary producers based in Australia? With so much investment funding and resources overseas, what is the best way to tap into them? What are the best new global platforms? And what does producing – not to mention distribution – even look like? For many Australians, the answers to these questions continue to lie in collaborating and co-producing internationally, working with funding bodies and initiatives beyond our borders. In this session, successful Australian AR/VR producers Katy Morrison (VRTOV) and Melanie Horkan (Fathom Film Group) will discuss moving into the international arena in order to create content. Drawing on their own professional experiences and insights, they will provide expert perspectives on how the Australian industry can maximise creativity and opportunity here at home.
Alternative Pathways to an Infinite Audience The fast-changing evolution of the distribution landscape is one of the most vexing and unnerving issues facing the screen industry today. New and fragmented consumer practices have severely disrupted the domination of the traditional release chain, while a deluge of cheap digital content erodes the profitability of alternative revenue streams. In this increasingly crowded market, competing for eyeballs – and distribution dollars – has never been tougher for independent documentaries, no matter the form. But is the news all bad? In an adapt-or-die scenario, filmmakers are getting creative. Crowdsourcing, “event” screenings, on-demand and multi-platform releases, as well as a host of clever campaign and social media strategies are just some of the ways filmmakers are shining a light on their work and breaking new ground. In this session, we draw on the lessons of two very different productions – webseries Black As (David Batty, 2016) and feature documentary Chasing Asylum (Eva Orner, 2016) – to posit the question: can we turn challenge into opportunity?
Are you guys ready for valentines Releasing on AIDC. The Valentines 2017 - PARTH & DJ RAMPING @djramping
In Episode 2 of the AIDC podcast, I go over the FTC Funeral Rule and the rights that consumers have when selecting funeral goods and services.
The very first and awkward episode of the Adventures in Deathcare podcast. Here, I tell you what AIDC is, and how to become a licensed Embalmer or Funeral Director in the state of California.
In 2015, a number of very high profile blockbuster documentaries or docbusters showed cinema managers and audiences that it is possible to lure patrons to the cinema in large numbers to experience non-fiction feature length films. The rise and rise of cinema on demand as a way to de-risk the decision to screen documentaries in the cinema has also meant that many more films have a shot at drawing audiences (in large numbers) to the cinema. This session looks at the financial model of cinema on demand and what it takes, in general, to mount a successful theatrical release using crowd-sourced audiences and discuss in particular what it took to make two films – Graceful Girls and Black Hole –two of 2015’s docbusters. Speakers: David Doepel (Managing Director Leap Frog Films and TUGG Australia & NZ), Olivia Peniston-Bird (Producer, Writer and Director of Graceful Girls) and Joao Dujon Pereira (Producer, Writer and Director of Black Hole) Host: Roy Ackerman (Pulse Films UK)
Prison Songs is an award-winning documentary musical made by WA filmmakers Kelrick Martin and Harry Bardwell, working in association with Indigenous singer/songwriter Shellie Morris and acclaimed British documentary maker, and pioneer of the documentary musical form, Brian Hill. It is a real musical set in a very real situation, and like any musical it uses the expressive qualities of music, songs and dance to communicate intimacy and conviction, giving it an emotional resonance unfamiliar to conventional documentary forms. In this session, Prison Songs forms the basis of a case study in documentary musicals, acting as a launching point to illuminate elements like structure, casting, musical composition and intended impact. Speakers: Kelrick Martin (Director), Harry Bardwell (Producer) and Shellie Morris and Casey Bennetto (Composers) Host: Leanne Pooley
Screenrights is the not for profit collecting society for the Australian and New Zealand screen industry. It collects licence fees related to the use of broadcast programs and distributes the money to rights-holders. Screenrights licensees include Government, Educational institutions and Pay TV operators. 2015 marked an eventful year for Screenrights. In addition to relaunching its Disbursement Service, Screenrights negotiated licences with Australian schools and universities, and advocated for a simplification of the Copyright Act. In this session, Screenrights representatives update AIDC attendees on progress across these fronts and answer questions about their work in the year ahead Speakers: Simon Lake (CEO, Screenrights), Emma Madison (Head of Member Relations, Screenrights) and Veronica Fury (Producer, WildBear Entertainment) Host: Ruari Elkington
In this session, a panel of experts illuminate the opportunities, success factors and deal terms existing in the booming VOD sector that is disrupting the programming plans of established channels. Key topics addressed include defining SVOD, TVOD and AVOD; identifying what Netflix, Amazon and platforms like CuriosityStream pay for programs; considering the differences in deals; exploring how they commission originals; and also how producers can sell to them. Speakers: Rebecca Heap (Head of Strategy and Digital, iView), Roger Jackson (Producer and Co-founder, Kinonation), Sharon Ramsay-Luck (Head of Sales & amp; Business Development, ABC Commercial) Host: Peter Hamilton (DocumentaryTelevision.com)
With tough local TV market conditions and the influence of globalisation on the film and television industry, 'patchwork' financing has become a way for producers to secure financing by cobbling together multiple markets and platforms. But in order to successfully finance and secure multiple deals, it is important to understand these international marketplaces and manage the expectations of multiple deals. This session explores the issues around managing stakeholder expectations and the pressure of keeping everyone happy; issues around delivering one offs vs multiple versions; and issues around different languages, tones and styles as well as cultural and historic differences. Speakers: Ewan Angus (BBC Scotland), Seniha Tunaboylu (Modern Times Group) and Julia Redwood (Prospero Productions) Host: Veronica Fury (WildBear Entertainment)
It’s not often that a documentary makes headlines, but that’s what happened during The Jinx’s six-week run on HBO in 2015. It was one of the most fascinating and celebrated documentary series of recent times – the now-famous finale reported on the front page of the New York Times and its revelations prompting a new murder trial for its subject, Robert Durst. Two of the series’ filmmakers – Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier – discuss the long and complicated production of the series and the ethics of investigation in a revealing discussion with The Saturday Paper’s Martin McKenzie-Murray. The session examines questions of access – and considers whether Australia’s legal jurisdictions would ever permit a project of similar scope. Marc and Zac also provide a sneak preview of their latest project, a true crime podcast about the American mob. Speakers: Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier Host: Martin McKenzie-Murray
Filmmakers Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier of The Jinx reveal how the tools of narrative filmmaking – in particular, ‘detective stories’ – can serve the documentarian, and share the cinema and television that has most informed their approach to documentary storytelling. By taking us inside scenes from their landmark HBO docuseries, Smerling and Stuart- Pontier dissect the techniques and challenges of unravelling a mystery with suspense, character and complexity, and also unpack the ethics of applying the conventions of fiction to documentary. It provides a unique insight into the relationship between storytelling and truth, and the philosophies and techniques that go into building narratives around real people and real events. Speakers: Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier Host: Sari Braithwaite
Traditionalists may be outraged, but it is possible to create quality, popular factual content that is later formatted and sold to broadcasters around the world. These ‘Format’ concepts keep on giving for their creators and make it easier for broadcasters to commit their dollars to ambitious factual projects with less risk. The three speakers in this session know all about this ‘F’ word. They’ve created, sold and adapted formats and, between them, have been responsible for content in dozens of countries around the world. Speakers: Julie Christie (Director, Julie Christie Inc. Ltd.), Magnus Temple (Co-Founder and Chief Executive, The Garden) and Lyndal Marks (Executive Producer, Factual, Network Seven). Host: Denise Eriksen (Executive Producer, Eriksen Media)
Opportunities for commissioning, financing and distributing short form docs are increasing every day. Short form is arguably better suited to the dynamic shifts and new opportunities occurring in global media than long form. They are less complicated to finance and produce, and more agile and quick to reach target audiences. Alongside the shrinking demand for long-form and the log-jam at the door of broadcasters, comes a boom in online platforms and a growing appetite for short form. Whether it’s arts and culture, powerful human-interest stories or urgent global issues, audience demand for short docs is growing. In this session, leading players in the burgeoning short docs space explore what these changes mean for the future of documentary, and also provide insight into what they’re looking for and what their platforms offer. Speakers: Lindsay Crouse (New York Times Op-Docs Coordinating Producer), Katy Roberts (VICE Media), Jennifer Byrne (Head of Video at Dazed Media, UK) and Charlie Phillips (Guardian News & Media, UK). Host: Dr Cathy Henkel (Director, WA Screen Academy)
Magnus Temple is one of the UK’s most successful and most respected television executives. His company The Garden is a prolific supplier of acclaimed long form documentary series, including 24 Hours in A&E and 24 Hours in Police Custody, and with Nick Curwin he pioneered the fixed-rig genre with The Family and One Born Every Minute. In this comprehensive Masterclass, Temple explores the conceptual philosophy behind The Garden’s success by deconstructing series like 24 Hours in A&E and illuminating the methods used to create long-running formats that keep people coming back. He also reveals how his team pulled off the feat of organising 100 crews across Britain on a single day for Keeping Britain Alive: One Day in the NHS - a format sold to the ABC and now screening as Keeping Australia Alive. Speaker: Magnus Temple Host: Mandy Chang
An increased demand for ‘super-premium’ documentary content is examined in The Rise of the Superdoc, as one of the world’s top factual producers, John Smithson (Touching the Void, 127 hours, Sherpa), discusses his extensive career in storytelling with producer Phil Craig. Exploring mega-budget commissions, international co-productions and the content demands of broadcasters, subscriber channels and new VOD players, Smithson provides an expert insight into how producers can make the best of ‘the age of the superdoc’. Speaker: John Smithson Host: Phil Craig
In this revealing panel discussion, the filmmakers behind acclaimed feature documentary Sherpa explore the process of creating a film in the aftermath of unexpected disaster. Director, writer and co-producer Jennifer Peedom (Miracle on Everest, Solo), editor Christian Gazal (Happy Feet, The Little Death) and producers Bridget Ikin (An Angel at My Table, Look Both Ways) and John Smithson (Touching the Void, 127 Hours) give their account of how an avalanche that killed 16 sherpas on Everest gave rise to a story different to what they originally planned to tell. Analysing the challenges they faced in capturing it, the panel uncover the creative, physical and emotional effort that goes into making a successful theatrical documentary. Speakers: Jennifer Peedom, Bridget Ikin, Christian Gazal and John Smithson
Vision. Strategy. Distribution. Evaluation – the four key steps to building the perfect campaign. Yet, no matter how closely you follow the rules, sometimes the marrying of art and activism just doesn't seem to want to follow suit. This session gives filmmakers, producers and industry professionals a sneak peek into all the messiness that comes with the job. With a focus on these different stages, experienced panellists provide insight into Australian and international impact campaign design – sharing knowledge and ideas designed to help filmmakers maximise their impact potential. Speakers: Alex Kelly (Impact and Distribution Producer, Echotango), Anna Kaplan (Impact Producer, That Sugar Film) and Mitzi Goldman (CEO, Documentary Australia Foundation) Host: Alice Burgin (Campaign Director, The Bully Project)
Campaign tactics like private influencer screenings for business leaders, lobbying of government officials, and donation or petition drives have become all the rage – in part because the results of these efforts are easy to measure. The rise of big data has made the demand for impact metrics all but impossible to avoid for filmmakers seeking funding. But does any of this actually constitute positive social change? Is it possible that these strategies mirror deregulation and privatisation, concentrating more economic, political and social power into the hands of fewer people? In this session, Borderline Media’s Jennifer MacArthur explores pre-existing, alternative and difficult to measure methods of change, and how they might inform a bigger picture idea of ‘impact’. Speaker: Jennifer MacArthur (Borderline Media, US)
Virtual Reality: Documentary Outside the Frame Virtual Reality has quickly become the most-talked about technology in the media industry. From the BBC to Hollywood, media-makers around the globe are experimenting with VR as an entirely new way to tell stories. But what are the opportunities for non-fiction storytellers in a medium that puts the audience at the centre of the action? This session brings together Australian and international pioneers in documentary Virtual Reality storytelling to share their experiences and reflect on the opportunities that arise when working in this medium, and the new thinking that the format demands of documentary makers. Speakers: Julie Young, Astrid Scott, (Senior Producer/Experience Strategist, ABC) and Katy Morrison (Producer, VRTOV). Host: Jess Linington (Researcher/Producer, i-Docs / VRTOV
