Bully is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary directed by Sundance- and Emmy- award-winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch. Filmed over the course of a school year, Bully offers an intimate, unflinching look at how bullying has touched the lives of fourteen-year-old Alex and sixteen-year-old Kelby and their families.

Bully opens a window onto the pained and often endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic and economic borders. Bully has sparked the global social campaign The Bully Project, which has recently launched in Australia.

from the Yijala Yala Project

From comedy to drama, music to cuisine, Smashed Films is a funny, touching window into life in the incredible Pilbara region of Western Australia. Smashed Films was created by over thirty young people from the town of Roebourne through a project delivered by arts and social change company Big hART.

Join us for a screening and a Q&A with the filmmakers and producers.

10:30am - 12:00pmACMI The CubeModerator: Mark Poole, Writer/Director. Panellists: Peter Ivan, Writer/Creator; Benjamin Law, Writer/

Creator

This session looks at comedy writing in feature film and television in 2016, with cutting-edge comedy screenwriters Peter Ivan and Benjamin Law. Peter Ivan is best known for writing Oddball (2015, directed by Stuart McDonald), the family comedy starring Shane Jacobson that took $10 million at the Australian box office. Benjamin Law is best known for writing The Family Law (from his book), which screened on SBS this year to great acclaim. The session will be moderated by Mark Poole, former Head of the Australian Writers Guild in Victoria.

KEYNOTE PANEL: SHARE YOUR PASSION AND GROW AN AUDIENCE ON YOUTUBEPresented by YouTube

4:45pm - 5:45pmACMI Cinema 2Guillaume Deront, YouTube AUNZ

This session will give an overview of YouTube and cover the main fundamentals of a creative strategy on the platform. The session will also look at the future for your content and the support YouTube provides to its content creators in Australia and New Zealand.

WRITING FOR SCREEN: FINDING YOUR PLACE Presented by Australian Writers’ Guild & AFTRS 12:30pm - 1:30pmACMI The CubeMike Jones, Multi-platform Writer; Peter Mattessi, Screenwriter; Claire Phillips, Co-writer/Creator; CS McMullen, Screenwriter

From webisodes to big-budget feature films, and from interactive media projects to high-end dramas, there are a range of exciting career options for screenwriters in Australia and overseas.

The screen industry can be difficult to access, however, and the question of how to get your break in a rapidly changing landscape is ever-present.

Today’s audiences are increasingly spread over a diverse range of media – across screens large, small and interactive – and the opportunities for work beyond traditional film and television jobs are shifting and growing.

Writers need to be flexible, responsive and determined but they also need to understand the changing landscape and how to find their place in it.

Please join our fabulous panel to hear about the challenges and opportunities available for screenwriters today.

TOP SCREEN AND VCE MEDIA 3:30pm - 4:30pmACMI The CubeKathy Hendy-Ekers, VCAA; Brett Lamb, State Reviewer – VCE Media; Heather Scott, Top Screen; Top Screen Filmmakers Bridget Webster and Jack Wilson-Lee

This session offers insights into the selection of student work for Top Screen as part of the VCE Season of Excellence. Managed by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, the season is a five-month arts festival celebrating outstanding senior secondary student work from Victorian schools.

The State Reviewer and the Curriculum Manager for Media, along with the Top Screen 2016 Coordinator, will form a panel with student filmmakers selected for Top Screen who produced exemplary work for VCE Media. The panel will discuss processes and production planning, as well as application requirements and selection criteria for Top Screen. The filmmakers will also discuss how they tackled the immense task of producing a film of Top Screen calibre while juggling the requirements of the rest of their VCE studies. This session includes a screening of some of the films selected for Top Screen.

BRIDGING THE GAP: CAREER PATHWAYS FOR EMERGING TALENT2:15pm - 3:15pmACMI The CubeModerator: Christina Alvarez. Panellists: Martin Brown, AFTRS; Rebecca Johnston, International Screen Academy; John Cumming, ASPERA; Donna McRae, Deakin University

This panel seeks to explore career pathways for emerging talent in the screen industry.

With the increasing number of screens demanding new and engaging content, it would appear that study in screen offers fertile employment opportunities. However, with most screen graduates facing several years of ad-hoc work before securing a reasonably stable job, a degree is no longer enough.

This panel of training providers will discuss their challenge to balance curriculum with providing opportunities that address industry skills gaps, with a focus on the space between learning and earning.

A healthy screen industry relies on successful talent regeneration, fresh ideas, new perspectives, new and diverse voices, and new audiences. What qualities do the talent of tomorrow need, and how can they gain the time and opportunity to prove themselves equitably and sustainably?

Let SYN introduce you to the world of radio, where the possibilities are endless.

In this session, you will have the opportunity to learn more about community radio in Melbourne and find out how you can have your own program on SYN 90.7. You’ll also work with a SYN producer to create and produce your own radio segment, and if it’s good, we’ll play it on SYN radio!

Don’t worry if you’ve never done radio before; we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Bring a USB stick with you if you want to take home a copy of your recording.

READY FOR THIS LIVE Q&A PANEL AND WEBINARPresented by Australian Children’s Television Foundation

2:15pm - 3:15pm

ACMI Studio 1 Moderators: Peter Maggs and Anna Kamasz, ACTF

Panellists: Liz Doran, Head Writer; Madeleine Madden and Aaron McGrath, two of the lead actors

On paper, Ready for This may seem like your average teen drama, with its relatable storylines of identity, friendship, coming-of-age adventure, peer-group pressure, bullying, rebellion and, of course, raging hormones.

But it’s the program’s contemporary, integrated approach to multiculturalism that makes this Logie- award-winning ABC3 series truly unique – it presents Indigenous Australian kids as part of the fabric of mainstream television and celebrates a shared humanity, instead of focusing on ‘difference’. Behind the scenes, Ready for This is supporting an emerging mob of young Australian talent.

Produced by Werner Film Productions and Blackfella Films, this aspirational thirteen-part series highlights the challenges and adventures of six elite teens brought together in a new city in pursuit of their dreams.

Join the ACTF for a live Q&A discussion with the cast and creative team.

PRODUCING SCI-FI Presented by ACMI

12:30pm - 1:30pmACMI Studio 2Bridget Hanna, ACMI

We all love our sci-fi! Awkward dialogue, dodgy green-screen effects, explosions galore, tacky spaceships and even tackier aliens. Today’s users of media are creators as well as readers and viewers, and are highly aware of techniques used to entertain and persuade. In this filmmaking workshop, you will learn how to create B-grade sci-fi effects using iPad apps.

Steve Hider, Apple

� ACT UP: A BASIC GUIDE TO SHORT FILMMAKING Presented by Youthworx

2:15pm - 3:15pmACMI Education Room

Amelia Mazis and Zach Broomhall, Youthworx

The session will cover some of the basic dos and don’ts in a hands-on manner and will look at how to create entertaining content from a young person’s perspective for other young people.

PROCRASTINATION: REIMAGINING COLLAGE IN THE INTERNET ERA12:30pm - 1:30pmACMI Education RoomXanthe Dobbie, New Media Artist and Curator

Join new media artist Xanthe Dobbie for a workshop that explores and reinterprets ideas behind contemporary collage practice. Bridge the divide between low-brow and high-brow culture and harness the power of the internet by applying traditional collage techniques to new technologies. In the age of memes, gifs and Tumblr feeds, fine art has the capacity to transcend the lived experience, opening itself up to an expansive universe of potential source material. Embrace the ultimate tools of procrastination and allow yourself to slip into a cyber-vortex of trash and treasure. The internet is rampant with complex, artistic beauty – it’s just a matter of finding the right search engine.

THE SECRET TO DYNAMIC SCREEN ACTING Presented by the International Screen Academy

3:30pm - 4:30pmACMI Education RoomRebecca Johnston, International Screen Academy

Acting for the screen is more than just learning lines and performing them in front of a camera. For screen acting to be truly interesting, you must be prepared to work hard, research the character, know who you are, where and when you are, have an objective for the scene, be clear on the relationship to the other characters, analyse the script, understand what’s at stake for your character, and have an opinion about every single thing you say. When you’ve explored all of this, be prepared to throw the homework away, trust your technique and just PLAY. Put your focus on the other actor, pursue your objective, and be willing to take on and implement any instruction from the director. Demystify the art of acting for the screen during this one-hour workshop with the Head of Acting from Australia’s leading Film Acting School.
