Reeling in the Regions: Location as Character

Meeting Room 11, Level 1

From Kettering to Rosehaven, the Yabba to Wolf Creek, Hanging Rock to Dungatar, rural and regional landscape is ever more prominent on Australian screens. Place often features in the title, and shapes the action as much as any key character. This session explores how the spirit of place makes for more distinctive storytelling.
