Screen Australia Live Webinar
Screen Australia is set to release the results of a comprehensive new research project that will tell us why Australian audiences watch what they watch. The research will explore how audience motivations vary by distribution point - whether it’s cinema, DVD and Blu-ray, online video, subscription and free-to-air television - as well as by the types of content. Metro Screen is producing the event live so you can tune in to hear the results in real time Thursday 14 June from 3pm. Mark it in the diary log in here and share your thoughts on twitter #W2Watch

EVENTS
Kino #58
Participants make films specifically for Kino, then present the work to a sold out audience. Each film is therefore a world premiere! The event includes music, live performances and giveaways. Kino encourages participants to learn about the craft of filmmaking by going out there and making films, unshackled by the burden of resources, time and money. Kino Sydney is part of an international network born in Montréal in 1999. It is now a global movement, with cells in Canada, the US, France, Germany, the UK, South Africa and now Australia. Make a film or simply come alone to watch them, everybody's welcome!
