Screen Producers Australia, in association with ABC Television, is delighted to announce an exclusive presentation of ABC’s flagship program, Q&A, on Tuesday 14 November at this year’s SCREEN FOREVER, Australia’s premier screen industry conference, held at Crown Conference Centre in Melbourne.
This year’s Q&A will be the third in succession at SCREEN FOREVER and again brings together an eclectic panel of international and domestic guests from the contemporary media and political landscape to discuss the key issues facing the Australian film and television industry.
Hosted by ABC journalist Virginia Trioli, the session’s democratic format includes audience questions and interaction, a live Twitter feed, and is specially designed for the SCREEN FOREVER audience of Australia’s top producers, distributors, financiers and media executives, as well as international guests. The program is not for broadcast.
Confirmed panellists for Q&A include: Bob Campbell (Executive Chairman, Screentime), Georgina Downer (Adjunct Fellow, Institute of Public Affairs), Fiona Eagger (Co-Founder and CEO, Every Cloud Productions), Peter Khalil (Federal Member for Wills), Pallavi Sharda (Actor) and Rose Troche (Producer).
The specially selected panel share their views and opinions in response to questions from the audience, made up exclusively of SCREEN FOREVER delegates.
“We are again privileged and grateful to have one of Australia’s foremost discussion programs opening SCREEN FOREVER. As with the past two conferences, Q&A will get SCREEN FOREVER delegates ‘thinking, talking and debating’ about the most important topics affecting our industry” said Matthew Deaner, CEO, Screen Producers Australia.
Deaner added, “this year’s panel is ideally suited to explore issues such as diversity, international trends and experiences, the role of government, audience fragmentation and trends, new market entrants and financing models. I expect the session to again set the agenda for SCREEN FOREVER.”
Q&A will open the SCREEN FOREVER conference at Crown Conference Centre, Melbourne on Tuesday 14 November at 1.30pm. Delegates registered for SCREEN FOREVER are invited to submit their questions for consideration by the producers of Q&A, care of james.cheatley@screenproducers.org.au, by 5pm AEST on Friday 10 November.
